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

When running (downgrade composer by running)

composer config -g secure-http false

i still got an exeption

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method Composer\Package\RootPackage::getConfig() ...

I got a success finaly using additional --no-plugins

composer config -g secure-http false --no-plugins
composer self-update --no-plugins

Hope this helps anyone :)
