Until last night it worked perfectly. Now, when an update plugin, I appear error “An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request.” Do not go any automatic updating. I tried everything, including a new update to WordPress 2.7. The error left and no idea who is solving. Please help me.

Installing a plugin yields: An Unexpected HTTP Error occured during the API request. (seems occured is misspelled as well; occurred {chuckle}) * 2. Seems WP automatic updater not installed via Fantastico.. No plugins installed, at all… * 3. Also, when installing to a non-root dir, be careful to eliminate the directory prompt of “\”- I deleted all & re-installed after many bugs popped forth from an entry of “\blog” created [http://mysite.com//blog/](http://mysite.com//blog/)( note the double // before blog) * 4.
