Starting from today 2022-08-11, the pecl channel-update pecl.php.net
command cannot work.
It starts working and after a few seconds returns an error Cannot retrieve channel.xml for channel "pecl.php.net" (Connection to ssl://pecl.php.net:443 failed: Operation timed out)
.
Here is the full message:
$ pecl channel-update pecl.php.net Update channel"pecl.php.net" Channel "pecl.php.net" failed to respond via http://, failure message was: Invalid file http://pecl.php.net:80/channel.xml (redirect but no location) Try using https://alternative channel"pecl.php.net" Unable to retrieve channel.xml for channel 'pecl.php.net' (Connection to `ssl://pecl.php.net:443' failed: Operation timed out)
I tried it on my local machine, as well as in a GitLab pipeline that worked fine before.
Does anyone know what happened? Are there any changes on 2022-08-11?
pecl.php.net has been down intermittently for a few hours. Not sure if it was a DDoS attack, but it will certainly pose challenges in completing certain builds. I'm sure they'll figure it out, but it's really hard to be patient in the meantime.
