Latest Composer version not pulling Laravel

Question

The Latest version of Composer is not pulling Laravel, I thought it could be because of Composer added new secure_http feature for downloading from Packagist and Laravel Pac

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Found the solution here:Reddit Discussion of the issue

Basically, you have two options:

• Revert to previous version, by running

  self-update --rollback

• Or, downgrade composer by running

  composer config -g secure-http false
