Windows Version

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.26200.7019]

WSL Version

Kernel Version

6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2

Distro Version

Debian 13.1

Other Software

OpenSSL 3.5.1 1 Jul 2025
curl 8.14.1

Repro Steps

1. curl -v https://repo.packagist.org/packages.json

Expected Behavior

HTTP/2 200

Actual Behavior

* Recv failure: Connection reset by peer
* TLS connect error: error:00000000:lib(0)::reason(0)
* OpenSSL SSL_connect: Connection reset by peer in connection to repo.packagist.org:443
* closing connection #0
curl: (35) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

Also tested in docker. Here results:

• curl -> Windows = [v] no problem
• curl -> Debain 13.1 -> Windows = [x] problem
• curl -> Debian 12.12 (in docker) -> Debain 13.1 -> Windows = [v] no problem
• curl -> Debian 13.1 (in docker) -> Debain 13.1 -> Windows = [x] problem

result of openssl s_client -connect repo.packagist.org:443

Possible because of this error:

wpr.exe : The term 'wpr.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

Thank you for reporting this @SailorMax. That could be caused by AV / custom security software. Do you have anything that could intercept / affect the connection from WSL ?

One thing you could try would be mirrored networking

That could be caused by AV / custom security software.

I use default Windows settings with default Defender. Plus the problem only with Debian 13.1. Debian 12.12 in same WSL works fine.

Do you have anything that could intercept / affect the connection from WSL ?

I don't think so. Checked everything. Nothing found.

One thing you could try would be mirrored networking

thanks. Will try.
