Re: [PEAR] How do I install http_request2 package via composer?

Hi Alexey,

Would you be willing to add it to Packagist ? If not, I could give it a
shot. I've never done it before.

What's odd is http_request2 is already on packagist, as mentioned in the
output I pasted. It's at
https://packagist.org/packages/fpoirotte/http_request2. And pear_exception
is too at https://packagist.org/packages/pear/pear_exception. It's
complaining about not having dev-master (which is what's referenced at
https://github.com/fpoirotte/HTTP_Request2/blob/trunk/composer.json), but
isn't that dev-master I see right there on the packagist page for
pear_exception already?
