Hello, thanks for sharing that question.

When trying to get https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/assets/294974451, I have a 200 JSON answer from GitHub's. It seems that your request fails with a 500 error:

main ↪️ [compose] GET /repos/docker/compose/releases/assets/294974451 - 500 with id UNKNOWN in 200ms

The problem was likely on GitHub's side, not with your request. This type of error usually means their server encountered an unexpected issue while trying to process the request.

These kinds of server-side problems are often temporary. Can you please try running the command or accessing the API endpoint again today?

On my end the install is working but you are using a different OS (docker-compose-windows-x86_64.exe).

Let me know if that helps :)

It may be related to this issue #13497

and there is work in progress here:

#13789

[simonrey1]

Can you try to install the docker-compose binary and add it to your path?

https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/standalone/

[simonrey1]

It seems that the PR #13789 has been merged.

So you can also try to install the pre-release version for Windows?

Thank you all for your help, we have fixed it by removing ssl interception.
Now it works.
