The PEAR PHP installer fails to discover channels and install packages hosted on google code since several weeks now.
The issue itself is documented in http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=17234 and is as follows: - The PEAR installer sends a HTTP request to google code, i.e. for http://pear-smarty.googlecode.com/svn/channel.xml - The HTTP request contains a "Host:" header - The Host header is "Host: pear-smarty.googlecode.com:80" The port number is the problem here. Without the port number, it works fine. With it, we all get a 404 error. The HTTP RFC http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html actually allows adding the port: > 14.23 Host > Host = "Host" ":" host [ ":" port ] ; Section 3.2.2 So for me, google code is broken. We could of course roll a new release of the PEAR installer, but I'd rather see the google servers obey the standards.
