I have this problem since yesterday midnight :

$ php composer.phar self-update

You are already using composer version d0ff016.

$ php composer.phar update

The "https://packagist.org/packages.json" file could not be downloaded: failed to open stream: Connection timed out

@EvKoh can you check if curl --ipv6 'https://packagist.org/packages.json' and curl --ipv4 'https://packagist.org/packages.json' work?

I had the same issue. It's some sort of ipv6 issue with the router not responding to ipv6 routing requests. traceroute6 -vvvv packagist.org showed no responses from the ff02::1: which is an odd address to multicast too.

I "solved" it by disabling ipv6 at the router.

[EvKoh]

It works for me 👍

[svsa]

Broken again for ip6

@svsa But what do you expect us to do about that? We are not your internet provider. We cannot fix your connection.

[alcohol]

Well, it works for thousands of others. It doesn't work for you. Pretty sure you are the exception, not the rule. So yes, your provider should be contacted.

[svsa]

Likewise its been working for me for many months and when I google this new-to-me error I see multiple reports of this failure, hence I thought I was being helpful in noting it was no longer working.
Didn't expect such a response.

[alcohol]

What were you expecting? (sincere question)

[svsa]

So just to follow up. Obviously its something in composer because I deleted ~/.composer and re-added my global requires, and global update works now.

I didn't delete the ~/.composer on another of my Macs on the same network, and it still exhibited the problem.

I have now deleted ~.composer and successfully updated that Mac too.

[alcohol]

Well... it would have been nice if you shared any relevant details about what is different in your local ~/.composer and that Mac's ~/.composer before deleting it. Now I guess we will never know if that was actually at all related to your issue or just merely a coincidence.

[alcohol]

Also, the contents of ~/.composer have zero impact on a curl request to packagist.

[cgrossde]

Is there a way to force composer to use IPv4?
