npm: SSL error on v2.2.0

[targos]

Attempting to install a module with npm fails with the following error:
SSL Error: https://registry.npmjs.org/test does not support SSL.

Reproduced on Windows 8.1 x64 and Windows 10 x64.

The error only happens for modules that were never installed on the machine. My guess is that npm uses the local cache for known modules.

+1 this also breaks my io.js tests on travis https://travis-ci.org/FredrikNoren/ungit/jobs/64777573

this seems to be impacting Linux as well, OSX appears to be fine

ping @othiym23, @iama

this broke the response.hasOwnProperty('client') check from request

reversion @ #1851, see comments there, sorry for pulling you in @othiym23 & @iama (I meant that to be @-iarna, so sorry whoever you are).

[targos]

there was no CI run for #1829 :(

[rvagg]

probably wouldn't have helped, we're still shaving the test-npm yak, /cc @fishrosk123
