Node-gyp: When NodeJS is down, it fails node-gyp installation.

Versions:

• Node: 7.5.0
• NPM: 4.1.2
• node-gyp: 3.4.0

Saved by NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR pointing out to https://cnpmjs.org/mirrors/node

Proposed solutions:

• Automatic fallback to X, Y or Z mirrors if https://nodejs.org isn't available
• Follow redirections
• Updated README/documentation with a list of ENV VARS, with examples

@richardlau Updated issue.

It would be nice to have a fall-back mirror link in case node is down again.

Can you try pointing NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR to https://cnpmjs.org/mirrors/node instead of https://cnpmjs.org/mirrors/node/latest-v6.x/node-v6.10.1-headers.tar.gz?

@thalesfsp change the NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR variable to just https://cnpmjs.org/mirrors/node

@richardlau @dimko Worked! I updated the issue again.

I am trying to deploy my Meteor app and cannot because of this issue. And I really need to deploy an update. I am not sure in Meteor if I can change NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR... any clue how?

Closing, should be working again.
