You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https
PhpSslOpensslZend Framework2Composer PhpPhp Problem Overview
I wanted to install Zend Framework 2. So I downloaded the skeleton application. As mentioned in the ZF2 manual, we have to issue the command
php composer.phar install
Inside the skeleton.
But I'm getting an error > You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https
Then I enabled the ssl_module in my wamp, I checked the php_ini file and I can see the following line
> extension=php_openssl.dll
Still I'm getting the same error. Anybody having any clue what I missed out?

Solution 1 - Php
PHP CLI SAPI is using different php.ini than CGI or Apache module.
Find line ;extension=php_openssl.dll in wamp/bin/php/php#.#.##/php.ini
and uncomment it by removing the semicolon (;) from the beginning of the line.
Solution 2 - Php
Verify you are editing the correct php.ini file.
Reference: https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/1440
"WAMP uses different php.ini files in the CLI and for Apache. when you enable php_openssl through the WAMP UI, you enable it for Apache, not for the CLI. You need to modify C:\wamp\bin\php\php-X.Y.Z\php.ini to enable it for the CLI."
Solution 3 - Php
make sure you have correct path to extension folder
> extension_dir = "ext"
by default it is commented with ; character

I also had the same issue while playing around Zend Framework 2 and composer. I'm using PHP 5.4 (installed via macports) and my solution was to install openssl for PHP 5.4 via macports as well.
sudo port install php54-openssl

I have faced this problem, but configuging openssl (also for cli) did not help.
I have updated composer and this sloved my problem.
Just type:
$ php composer.phar self-update
or
$ composer selfupdate
Good luck!

I use XAMPP. In C:\xampp\php\php.ini, the entry for openssl did not exist, so I added "extension=php_openssl.dll" on line 989, and composer worked.
Solution 7 - Php
You need to enable "extension=php_openssl.dll" in both files (php and apache). my pc files path are these :
-
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13\php.ini
-
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\bin\php.ini

Uttam, if your issue is not solved then try the follwoing 3 step approach. It worked for me as I had exactly same issue.
step1: click on wamp tray icon.
step2: goto menu apache->apache modules
step3: click on menu item "ssl_module"
it will automatically restart wamp. if wamp not restarted automatically then restart it through wamp tray menu-> Restart All services. After restart confirm that "ssl_module" coming as ticked under menu apache->apache modules
after that just attempt the php composer.phar install from going through the response shared by you, php.ini file contains extension=php_openssl.dll and the php/ext directory also have file "php_openssl.dll"
good luck

Make sure that you update your php.ini for CLI. For my case this was C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\php.ini and uncomment extension=php_openssl.dll line.

Late answer but adding so other can learn the reason.
You also need to edit the php.ini file in the "wamp\bin\php\php-X.Y.Z" location.
Solution 12 - Php
I had to uncomment extension=openssl in php.ini file for everything to work!
Solution 13 - Php
Becareful if you are using wamp don't use the wamp ui to enable the extension=php_openssl.dll
just go to your php directory , for example : C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12 and edit the php.ini and uncomment the extension=php_openssl.dll.
it should work.
