npx suffers from teapot error

the not-funny error from npm which reports "I'm a teapot" when run behind a proxy firewall is affecting npx. See the fixed issue for npm.

can npx be updated with the npm fix? TIA.
The fix was server-side. And npx just calls out to npm for this work. Not sure why this is happening for you.
