GDATA antivirus corrupts downloads

[staabm]

I get the warning of

I wonder whether this might be a antivirus/firewall issue on our end/workstation/network (not confirmed yet). wouldn't it make sense that the downloads from packagist.org word use https so intermediate proxies/gateways couldn't destroy the http requests/responses?

[staabm]

It turned out that it actually is the case that our "G DATA Security Client" does block some of the download urls of packagist.org.

not sure whether https would solve this concrete issue, but still I suggest to use https. wdyt?

[Seldaek]

Can't really be responsible for your antivirus, but you can force https by doing composer config -g repo.packagist.org composer https://packagist.org

[staabm]

Can't really be responsible for your antivirus

absolutely ;-)

you can force https

any plans on making https the default? couldn't composer downloads benefit from http2 via https?

[Seldaek]

This will probably change in the future but right now we wouldn't benefit with the current code and repository model.
