I tried to add my settings to the defaultHttpOptions property like so:

Issuer.defaultHttpOptions = {
			host: 'proxy',
			port: 8888,
			path: 'https://myoidcserver.com',
			headers: {
				Host: "myoidcserver.com"
			}
		};
Issuer.discover(config.idSrv.url)
			.then(.....

But that doesn't seem to work. The only reason I added the path is because of this SO answer. Even with just the host and the port it does not work and the connection times out. What am I missing?
