For me, on my Windows machine, I was installing phpmailer; So, I mistakenly wrote

composer require phpmailer\phpmailer

instead of

composer require phpmailer/phpmailer

I just thought somebody may have made that same silly mistake I made. So please use forward slash instead of backslash.

I noticed that this also happens when changing the networks. If I put the comüputer to sleep and then continue connected to other networks this happens. So either restart the computer or your docker. Seems to work for me. Had the issue 2 times already.

The fix for me was found here: https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md#operation-timed-out-ipv6-issues-.

I had to disable IPv6 on my network interfaces. After disabling that, composer worked fine.

You need to tell composer to use a proxy.

Linke here: PHP Composer behind http proxy and Composer cannot download files

Like:

export HTTP_PROXY="http://my-corp-proxy.mcdonalds"
php composer.phar install
