Switched to defaulting back to string 'false' as that is how it was already doing strictSSL and electron-download treats and checks both against bools so would make sense to keep it the same across the document.
Downloading from cache causes a checksum check that causes some builds to fail(see https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/8653) that that rely on stable electron releases(pre electron v1.7.0 beta) where chromedrive is not named based on electron version. This will add the option to always force a redownload.
When `strict-ssl` is set to a truthy value, npm always turns the
environment variable into the string `true`, when the value is falsy, npm
always sets it to a blank string. This fixes strict-ssl detection by
always comparing the value of npm_config_strict_ssl to the string `"true"`
The standard way of specifying whether you want strict-ssl or not
is to add an entry into your npm config file for strict-ssl. Use
that entry (which is passed to the install.js as an environment
variable) to set the option for strictSSL in electron-download.
Previously electron-prebuilt would download the prebuilt binaries
for the architecture native to the platform. However there are
cases where being able to download for another architecture is
favourable.
This patch adds support for setting the architecture through
npm's --arch= parameter. (Issue #53)
