 * I’m trying to use the new 2.7 plugin installer. But when I click on a plugin 
   to install, it give me the following error:
 * An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request

 * Can someone at least just tell me if they get the same error?

 * Anything in your webserver’s error_log file for that time period?
 * That error message is vague; it could mean the web server could not resolve a
   host, PHP is missing something it needs, etc. If you can see if PHP tossed an
   error in the log, then we can figure out what’s going on.

 * Looks by [other](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/250266) [threads](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/227430)
   that many people get this error. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to the error_log.
   I get the start page, but no tags listed etc.
