composer to disable https completely

Question

my network does not work well with https, so doing

composer.phar install 

throws

  [Composer\Downloader\TransportException]                                                            The "https://packagist.org/packages.json" file could not be downloaded: Failed to enable crypto     failed to open stream: operation failed   

i used

{     "packagist": false }, {     "type": "composer",     "url": "http://packagist.org",     "options": {         "ssl": {             "verify_peer": "false"         }     } } 

as a http falback, but again it crashes in some other point:

Installing dependencies   - Installing symfony/translation (v2.4.0)     Downloading: 100%              Downloading: 100%              Downloading: 100%               [Composer\Downloader\TransportException]                                                                                                             The "https://api.github.com/repos/symfony/Translation/zipball/0919e0fc709217f8c9e5049f2603419fdd4a34ff" file could not be downloaded: Failed to      enable crypto                                                                                                                                        failed to open stream: operation failed                

my problem is just with TLSv1, previous SSL versions should work, as the browsers work correctly.

how should i do, the problem also exists in other cmd tools that depend on https like npm, bower, git, curl, ...

Answer 1

composer config --global disable-tls true composer config --global secure-http false 

Answer 2

You can turn off TLS (For your specific project) using your composer.json as such:

{     "require": {         "laravel/framework": "5.2.43"     },     "config": {         "preferred-install": "dist",         "disable-tls": true,         "secure-http": false     }     } 

NB: Take not of the "disable-tls": true in the config section.
