Comment (by aduth):

 Nice sleuthing @netweb . The revised patch looks good, and I agree with an
 effort to avoid protocol changes (and in keeping protocol to HTTPS).

 There's not much documentation about the mentioned `--prefer-online` flag,
 but of what I could find, it's not immediately obvious why this would have
 an effect (and in fact, why it couldn't have the inverse effect of
 ''introducing'' changes than to ''avoid'' them). Perhaps the root of the
 issue stems from how the protocol is referenced in the offline cache.

 >A new --prefer-online option that will force npm to revalidate cached
 data (with 304 checks), ignoring any staleness checks, and refreshing the
 cache with revalidated, fresh data.

 But as far as workarounds go, if it achieves the desired effect, it sounds
 like it may be worth incorporating into the workflow.
