Can composer connect via proxy/tunnel?

[Fan Zhang]

Hi,

We are using composer to install varies packages such as behat, from within China. Unfortunately behat is not accessible, and sometimes is github. It's extremely difficult to work with the installation where at some point during the setup just stop due to network issue. Is there anyway composer can connect to proxy/tunnel in a simple way? such as "composer install --proxy 127.0.0.1:8081"?

Thanks,

Hi,

Have a look at Satis [1]. With this you can easily create a local mirror. You can then add it as additional composer-repository [2] into ~/.composer/config.json. At least that how I've circumvent the github-issue and beside it's often faster :) You can also define local urls ("file:///path/to/repo") there.

Regards,

Sebastian

Proxies are supported via the standard http_proxy env var. See details
at https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#http-proxy-or-http-proxy

Hi Jordi,

Thanks for your reply, I'm using socket tunnel, which does not seem to work using http_proxy.

I will try the local repository.

Thanks again,
