 * Hi there.
 * I’m trying to use last version of Jetpack in a self hosted wordpress that runs
   in Amazon EC2 and I’m obtaining the following when trying to connect to WordPress.
   com:
 * > Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed. This
   > usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host.
 * The blog has a plain wordpress installation with no other plugins and I switched
   to the default theme just in case that was the problem. I also SSHed the server
   and did the following (using the apache user that is the one running the Apache
   server that runs WordPress):
 *     ```
       apache@host ~ $ curl -i -L --data 'test' 'https://jetpack.wordpress.com/jetpack.register/1'
       HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
       Server: nginx
       Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2012 12:51:50 GMT
       Content-Type: application/json
       Transfer-Encoding: chunked
       Connection: keep-alive

       ```
   
 * It seems that the connection is being made without problems… What should I try
   next?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * In case you are reading this, what was happening in my case was that the blog
   wasn’t public yet – I was browsing it by modifying the hosts file.
 * It looks that the communication must be possible in both ways, and I didn’t recall
   about it after a while :-).
 * Thanks a lot for your support and best regards.

 * Hi Tim,
 * I know it is resolved Post. but I am not getting a reply in a jetpack support.
 * I am having a same problem. I have hosted site on Godaddy on Windows server. 
   There is a blog in wordpress.
 * Jetpack was working quite good until I update wordpress.
 * Now I am getting this error.
    Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed.
   This usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host. Operation
   timed out after 15008 milliseconds with 0 bytes received
