Failure of http extension using installer

[aum-tcm]

Version of install-php-extensions

v.2.7.7

Error description

Hi, first of all, thank you for maintaining this great tool.
I’ve been successfully using it to install the http extension for a while, but I recently encountered an issue where the installation now fails. I wanted to bring this to your attention.

An issue occurs when attempting to install the http extension via the mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer tool. The installation fails during the build process of a dependency, resulting in compilation errors related to the iconv function. Below are the error messages and details.

localconverter.c: In function 'localconverter_iconv_conv':

I've tested different versions of the tool (v2.7.6 and v2.7.5) and PHP (8.4) without success

Thank you in advance for your time and support
