Nodejs module install error : Request path contains unescaped characters

I'm new to nodejs, npm and can't figure out why I'm getting this error. Any guesses ? I've tried this, but it didn't work

npm install -g mongoose

1221 error TypeError: Request path contains unescaped characters.

npm trying to use https to get the tar because of ambiguous configuration in '.npmrc' file. Here's the old config: 

prefix = C:\software\nodejs
strict-ssl = false
http-proxy = http://[username]:[password]@[domain]:8080/
https-proxy = https://[username]:[password]@[domain]:8080/
registry = http://registry.npmjs.org/

Changing it to this resolve the issue:

prefix = C:\software\nodejs
http-proxy = http://[username]:[password]@[domain]:8080/

#angularjs2 require proxy as key, http-proxy gave the above error
proxy = http://[username]:[password]@[domain]:8080/

registry = http://registry.npmjs.org/
