Unable to fetch asset-packagist.org from India

Please provide your composer.json if appropriate.

A composer.json file with https://asset-packagist.org in repositories is not functioning(asset-packagist.org is timing out) for me in India. To make it work, I need to use a VPN and change my country.

• example composer.json file.

Facing the same issue from past 2 days. Haven't used VPN to test if this is country specific issue.

[SilverFire]

We're working on this problem with our ISP.

[sahilr2050]

Problem continue.

I tried to access it with Singapore VPN but still facing same issue.

[abhisekmazumdar]

Problem continue.

I tried to access it with Singapore VPN but still facing same issue.

Nothing in Asia seems to be working. I suggest considering a country in Europe or the US instead.

[SilverFire]

Hey folks. Our ISP states there are no global problems and they need more data to debug the issue.

I tried to download https://asset-packagist.org/p/provider-latest/latest.json (which is the file that Composer tries to download) from different locations using the website monitoring services. These services probe the URL from and show results.

The sites have shown pretty consistent success results:

• https://semonto.com/tools/website-reachability-check?test=1d74885
• https://check-host.net/check-report/1698ed7ck903
• https://www.host-tracker.com/en/ic/2/029a9507-f9f1-49be-892e-1f5328df6900
• https://www.uptrends.com/tools/ping-test?toolRequestGuid=270266a4-16e4-466a-9baf-90797fbdde3d

Could you help me reproduce the issue so I can communicate ISP to resolve it?

When executing Composer commands such as install, update, or require, I am encountering an error related to asset-packagist.org. The specific error message is as follows:

"asset-packagist.org could not be fully loaded due to a curl error 28 while attempting to download https://asset-packagist.org/p/provider-latest/db4a54bdd12ee87fab893bf74b747fa04fbcae4498410be6d5bec9f2907b9660.json. The operation timed out after 300011 milliseconds, having received only 7397128 out of the expected 11699299 bytes. Consequently, package information was loaded from the local cache, which may not reflect the most current data."

Upon attempting to access the provided URL in a web browser, I've observed that the page load time is significantly prolonged, which suggests that asset-packagist.org is experiencing slow response times. This issue appears to be impacting the efficiency of Composer operations that rely on data from this repository.

The same URL I accessed with Europe VPN, it loads quickly.

[SilverFire]

The error message says you spent 300 seconds on downloading 11Mb and was kicked due to the time out. At least you have some connectivity with the server, but the speed is around 20KBps, as far as I see.

Could you run https://www.speedtest.net/ test to the Amsterdam - RETN node and share your results, please?

[abhisekmazumdar]

Here the speedtest:

[abhisekmazumdar]

It look around 9 mins for me to load https://asset-packagist.org/p/provider-latest/latest.json.

Here the HAR file asset-packagist.org.har.zip

[SilverFire]

Thank you for the provided info, I've contacted our ISP for further investigation on this problem and will keep you updated.

[budimanlai]

same issue.

curl error 28 while downloading https://asset-packagist.org/p/provider-latest/1b92b85dbda9ecb57dcc3b563da39e1003a359c41941cd284f1fa3919466dd00.json: Operati on timed out after 300002 milliseconds with 5353224 out of 11722018 bytes received

how to solve this issue?

[SilverFire]

We are working with the ISP to identify and resolve the problem.

We have signed for the CDN to speed up file download worldwide. Try to change in your composer.json the repository section as follows:

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "composer",
        "url": "https://cdn.asset-packagist.org"
    }
]

You might notice asset-packagist.org was replaced with cdn.asset-packagist.org.

Could you try the download speed from the CDN and let me know of results?

~We are still working on HTTPS for this domain, I will let you know when HTTPS will be available so you can try switching to HTTPS as well.~

UPD: HTTPS is ready

[budimanlai]

https://cdn.asset-packagist.org

thank you man. You save my day. It's work.

[abhisekmazumdar]

Initial testing indicates successful performance of the new cdn url without encountering any timeout errors.

We have numerous projects that rely on asset-packagist dependency. Moving forward, both https://cdn.asset-packagist.org and https://asset-packagist.org will remain viable options.

Furthermore, additional testing with real users will be necessary to assess location-specific performance accurately.

[SilverFire]

Great. I will change the infrastructure to make https://asset-packagist.org/ work via CDN so other developers don't need to change their composer.json files.

[shubhamprasadqed42]

I was still facing issue with https://asset-packagist.org/ post replacing it with https://cdn.asset-packagist.org/ it worked.

[SilverFire]

From now on asset-packagist.org will redirect all requests to the CDN.

> curl -I https://asset-packagist.org/p/provider-latest/latest.json
HTTP/2 302
server: nginx/1.17.6

Note the Location: header in the response.

[abhisekmazumdar]

Yes, I confirm that I am not facing the issue anymore.

Thank you very much.
