Description

https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp/pull/243 respected cafile in the options, but I can't work out where to set it. Setting it in .npmrc doesn't seem to flow through to node-pre-gyp (which is run through yarn), so how else can I set it? I also have NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS set but that doesn't help either.

Research direction

Start by reviewing pull request 243 and tracing how the cafile option is passed when node-pre-gyp runs through Yarn. Check whether values from .npmrc or NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS reach that path. Done means identifying the supported configuration location or documenting why these settings do not apply.
