php php-5.3 composer-php

I use composer on a network where the only way to access the internet is using HTTP or socks proxy. I have http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables. When compose tries to access HTTPS URLs I get this:

 file could not be downloaded: failed to open stream: Cannot connect to HTTPS server through proxy

As far as I know the only way to connect to a https website is using a connect verb. How can I use composer behind this proxy?

If you are using Windows, you should set the same environment variables, but Windows style:

set http_proxy=<your_http_proxy:proxy_port>
set https_proxy=<your_https_proxy:proxy_port>

That will work for your current cmd.exe. If you want to do this more permanent, y suggest you to use environment variables on your system.
