Hi,
I have this issue: https://github.com/duccio/ApnsPHP/issues/84
Is there a way to downgrade to 5.5.22?
Thanks.
- Guillaume Plessis March 26, 2015
  @Stefan : you can go to http://archives.dotdeb.org/ and download every package that you need.
  - Stefan March 26, 2015
    Thank you! Worked fine.

    … You are using HSTS header with “includeSubdomains” and “archives.dotdeb.org” have no working certificate (your gandi certificate does not include subdomains, it is valid only for www.dotdeb.org). Chrome prevent access either HTTP version (because of HSTS) and HTTPS version because certificate is invalid and HSTS with includesubdomains is set.
    - Guillaume Plessis April 1, 2015
      @Alexander : HSTS has been disabled.

Anybody has issue with PECL installing anything with the new 5.5.23 release? Seems like if you use proxys, you fail to install anything. I had to upgrade squid3 to 3.4 with SSL support to get anything running with channel-update. But i cant install anything do to wrong HTTP/1.1 requests
is this somehow related to https://pecl.php.net/package-changelog.php?package=pecl_http&release=2.4.3 ?
Anything else possible?
