title: Installing composer using vagrant, hhvm, and Ubuntu 14.04
body: <p>At the end of my vagrant provisioning script I attempt to install composer using the following :</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
  sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However when this is executed I get the following errors :</p>
  
  <pre><code>SlowTimer [5612ms] at curl: https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar
  Download failed: Failed to open https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar (Resolving timed out after 5613 milliseconds)
  The download failed repeatedly, aborting.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I have php installed rather than hhvm and run the same commands on my vagrant vm the install is successful which indicates an incompatibility in hhvm. However I also have a Linode running Ubuntu 14.04 and hhvm (no php) and can install composer using these commands without any problems.</p>
  
  <p>Given I can install composer using a similar environment on my Linode why does it fail on my vagrant vm and how do I rectify this?</p>
