Cannot download any file with https behind the proxy

[NTag]

I am using Composer version e77435c 2014-07-02 15:44:54.

I am using a proxy; wget, curl and my browser are working.

But composer cannot download any file in https, and gives ssl errors.

composer diag:

@rdlowrey do you have an idea ?

[rdlowrey]

This is actually a bug in the 5.6 implementation that someone else recently stumbled upon and brought to my attention. It's 100% a problem in RC2 (and all previous 5.6 builds) where if you're behind an HTTP proxy you cannot connect to an encrypted resource with streams.

I'll be working on this over the next couple of days and hope to have it sorted this weekend. So until RC3 there's not really anything you can do if you're behind a proxy.

I will update the issue once the bug is fixed in php-src. Thanks for the ping and thanks to @NTag for trying out the release candidates to help find bugs like this before 5.6 is released 👍

Oh, BTW @stof as I'm debugging I see this line in the output (bold mine):

Unable to assert the situation, maybe github is down (The "https://api.github.com/repos

That should probably be assert assess. It's no big deal and maybe nobody cares but I thought I'd point it out in case someone wants to change it (also most of the best programmers I know aren't native English speakers).

[rdlowrey]

I've verified the bug and fixed this locally. After I submit the report at bugs.php.net and commit the necessary changes to php-src I'll post here with the relevant links so you can close the issue (later this evening or tomorrow).

For completeness note that I now see the following output behind a proxy server (locally) where before I was receiving the original error.

$ ~/build/bin/php ../composer.phar diag

This problem has been fixed in the PHP-5.6 and master branches by commit f3bf887e6d. The 5.6.0RC3 release will incorporate these changes.

The full bug report and analysis can be found here:

Please let me know if further problems arise and thanks again for using the RC releases to help eliminate as many bugs as possible prior to the official release 👍 .
