WinterCMS Web Installer can not attach to Marketplace API and stops installing

[kurtneuenschwander]

When running the WinterCMS Web Installer I can not attach to the Winter Marketplace API. I am getting the message "An error occurred trying to communicate with the Winter CMS API" I am attaching the installation log. Anybody else with the same problem?

install.log

yeah, not just u. ur log shows api.wintercms.com answering the installer's ping with a cloudflare "just a moment" challenge page (403), and since the installer calls the api from php it can't solve a js challenge, so it bails. hitting https://api.wintercms.com/ping with plain curl gives the same 403 right now. the earlier curl_init errors in the log are from before the curl extension was enabled, those go away later so ur nas setup is fine.

same thing broke plugin installs last week, see #1577 where luke said under attack mode is on for the marketplace api until a php update is done and a composer based replacement is in the works. for now go the composer route https://wintercms.com/docs/v1.2/docs/architecture/using-composer or retry the web installer once the api is back.

Any idea when the updates are done and the web installer is back and working?
