curl error 28 for composer update/install laravel

Question

i searched several sites, several topics in stackoverflow tried several ways to solve it

1. reinstalled composer
2. reinstalled xampp
3. changed IPv6 to IPv4 -> temporary resolved it
4. tried on another pc -> same network
5. i took my github token saved it in composer.json and got another error
6. used vpn as suggested
7. i cloned laravel in github but when i need update its composer "autoload", i still get same error on randomized subjects sometimes laravel/symfony and so on..
8. i tried changing php.ini according to Fileinfo not working in Xampp v3.2.1 [duplicate] : first of all there was no ";extension=php_fileinfo.dll" instead i found extension=fileinfo which itself wasnt commented
9. for its timeout i changed extention_max from 120 to 360 // my ram is 16
10. im in an online php boot-camp no one else have same error and no one couldnt help me when i asked for help

i am ready to provide more info , maybe i tried a good way in a wrong manner appreciate.

as suggested by mr. NicoHaase i reviewed IPv6 Section the result was as below:

Downloading laravel/laravel (v9.3.8) 

Failed to download laravel/laravel from dist: curl error 28 while downloading api.github.com/repos/laravel/laravel/zipball/…: 
Operation timed out after 10005 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes
 received Now trying to download from source

(i can take screenshot of every step i made)

all limits lifted my problem sloved by itself but i think the lost answer was about the proxy (31/10/2022)

Stairway

Did you try everything from getcomposer.org/doc/articles/…? That's a networking issue, not something related to Laravel – Ibarra

@NicoHaase so i should double check it as you gave me a hint thanks – Hypergolic

i got same error after : unchecked IPv6 then restarted apache (Xampp) and in terminal of phpstorm i ran composer laravel command line: Downloading laravel/laravel (v9.3.8) Failed to download laravel/laravel from dist: curl error 28 while downloading api.github.com/repos/laravel/laravel/zipball/…: Operation timed out after 10005 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received Now trying to download from source – Hypergolic

Please add all clarification to your question by editing it – Ibarra

ok i got it but im busy right now i do as soon as i can – Hypergolic

Answer 1

Use proxy! if you are in linux:

export http_proxy='your_proxy'

export https_proxy='your_proxy'

then use composer command If using socks5:

export http_proxy=socks5://ip:port https_proxy=socks5://ip:port

then use composer command. I guess you're iranian as same as I am
