Have been getting the following warning in my status report:

"Unable to check for the latest version of the HTML Purifier library. You will need to check manually at htmlpurifier.org to find out if the version you are using is out of date."

Running Pressflow 6.25 with Varnish. HTML Purifier is up to date (v 4.4.0).

I know their site went down a couple weeks ago, but it's back now, and the version check URL is working (http://htmlpurifier.org/live/VERSION).

My guess is that while the site was 404/500ing this page, some internal state in the update checker got corrupted and now it persistently thinks that it's still out of date. But I don't have a good idea what in particular or how to fix it.

@Skidz, perhaps try disabling & uninstalling the module, then reinstall it?

I'll give that a try when I get a chance.

@Skidz, something else to try is simply running cron. The htmlpurifier_version_current variable gets set via running cron. If you aren't running cron on a normal basis, then the variable could be screwy.

Dunno what did it, but the error's gone. Seems to have sorted itself out over time. Those are the kind of issues I really hate... :-|

Just to confirm, you didn't do anything (like uninstall and reinstall the module), right?

It could be that cron ran? If it did, it should have reset the variables if I'm not correct.

CRON has been running normally the whole time, so I don't see why that would be it.
