Cannot install via composer

[Composer\Downloader\TransportException]
The "https://www.phpclasses.org/install/package/sasl.zip" file could not be downloaded (HTTP/1.0 404 it was not specified a valid package)

Why is composer trying to download sasl.zip?

How else can I install this oauth client, other than composer?

Please, advise. Thank you.

The SASL package may be needed by the HTTP client package to perform authentication.

In the download page of the OAuth package there are instructions about what you should put in the composer.json file to install the OAuth packages and other dependencies available in the PHP Classes site. Then you may need to use a password mentioned in that tab.

Did you add something like this to your composer file?

{
"require":
{
"phpclasses/oauth-api": ">=1.0.105"
},
"repositories":
[
{
"type": "composer",
"url": "https:\/\/www.phpclasses.org\/"
},
{
"packagist": false
}
]
}

Yes.

I copied-pasted exactly what you have on this page:

phpclasses.org/package_repositories ...

I even tried adding sasl:

"require": {
"phpclasses/oauth-api": ">=1.0.105",
"phpclasses/sasl": ">=1.0"
},

Same error every time.

It's interesting that it's a 404 Not Found - since going to it in a browser works OK:

phpclasses.org/install/package/sasl ...

I just tried it here and using your PHP Classes user and the password supplied on the page above it works for downloading the package again.

Are you defining your Composer password user name and password like it is described in this article?

phpclasses.org/blog/post/221-Speedu ...

It wasn't exactly that.

Now, it is:
{
"config":
{
"basic-auth":
{
"www.phpclasses.org":
{
"username": "_____",
"password": "_____"
}
}
}
}

I just installed the OAuth package from scratch using the instructions of this page and it worked.

phpclasses.org/blog/post/221-Speedu ...

I also used the composer.json file with he contents below. Can you try doing exactly this and remove the auth.json file you created? composer will create that file for you after you enter your user name and the password that is in the other page.

If it does not work for you, there may be an issue with your PHP or composer installation, maybe with the availability of a zip decompression support. In that case, can you copy the output of composer and paste in your response here?

NOTE[1]: We have used composer on this host to install other applications, including AWS PHP API, which we are using successfully.

NOTE[2]: This morning, I used composer on this host to install a Packagist app: composer require league/oauth2-client. Although it's installed, I haven't got it working yet, and your interface looks easier.

NOTE[3]: This host is on AWS, and using a proxy (squid-awsisland.provell.com:3128), also on AWS. I have logged onto that proxy and successfully retrieved the sasl.zip package:

[ms50013@squid-awsisland ~] $ wget --password _____ --user _____ https://www.phpclasses.org/install/package/sasl.zip

Well if it works for me and it does not work for you, it seems there is something different in your PHP and Composer setup that is different.

One thing that comes to mind is that I tried the latest version of composer. If you are not using the latest version, you may want to try downloading and using that version.

The composer output to get the version number is:

Composer version 1.9.2 2020-01-14 16:30:31

Can you try this version and let me know if it worked?
