Neos - installation failed behind a proxy

Using Neos & Flow Installation & Deployment
1

Hi,
I am not able to install Neos behind a proxy. I’ve got the composer installed, but the installation of Neos failed always with the message: SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol

My Environment
Linux 4.4.0-81-generic #104-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 14 08:17:06 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

What I have tried so far
I updated the proxy to the latest version and I have tried several things, but all these things without success. Now I need your help.
Here the output:

Need your help
What is wrong? Should I configure php in a different way?
Any help is appreciated - thanks.

I have made some further investigations. I wrote a small script to check the php environment.

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$url = "https://packagist.org/packages.json";

function getUrlContent($url){
 $ch = curl_init();
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)');
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
 $data = curl_exec($ch);
 $httpcode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
 curl_close($ch);
 return ($httpcode>=200 && $httpcode<300) ? $data : false;
}

print_r(getUrlContent($url));
?>

This script works very well and I see the output on the console. In the log file of the proxy (squid) I have found the successful message:

1498680723.028 366 192.168.1.120 TCP_TUNNEL/200 4626 CONNECT packagist.org:443 - HIER_DIRECT/87.98.253.214 -

When I use the composer the proxy server logged a client error (400 Bad Request)

1498681768.407 0 192.168.1.120 TAG_NONE/400 4462 NONE error:invalid-request - HIER_NONE/- text/html
1498681768.519 0 192.168.1.120 TAG_NONE/400 4462 NONE error:invalid-request - HIER_NONE/- text/html
1498681768.631 0 192.168.1.120 TAG_NONE/400 4462 NONE error:invalid-request - HIER_NONE/- text/html

My conclusion
php config ok. The config of the proxy seems to be correct. Composer is faulty and does not work behind a proxy.

My question to you
Is there another option to install Neos without composer?
