HTTP request status Fails
Hi
I have these error in the Status report :
****
HTTP request status Fails
Your system or network configuration does not allow Drupal to access web pages, resulting in reduced functionality. This could be due to your webserver configuration or PHP settings, and should be resolved in order to download information about available updates, fetch aggregator feeds, sign in via OpenID, or use other network-dependent services.

Drupal core update status No update data available
No information is available about potential new releases for currently installed modules and themes. To check for updates, you may need to run cron or you can check manually. Please note that checking for available updates can take a long time, so please be patient.

I've installed drupal 6.2.
My RSS feeds and my contact form were working for several days before this problem.
Now they don't !

The second issue can be
The second issue can be solved simply by clicking "check manually".
The first however, I think indicates that permissions are set incorrectly for the files. Try making sure that all folders are set to 755.

The RSS feed problem is
The RSS feed problem is still here.
I mean I made an 5.7 install and all was working (mail and RSS feed)
So I decide to migrate to 6.2.
I install the SMTP patch for 6.2 and it works fine.
But the RSS feed still doesn't work (it works only very few minutes !).
I have this : "The server can't issue HTTP requests"
when I want to regenerate any feed or when I ran cron.php.
The 5.7 installation is still running on the same server and RSS feed works fine...
thanks for helping a poor french drupal user alone with his problem :-)

Ditto
I'm having the same problem on my site, but it's been running for over 3 months now and has just now started turning in these reports.
Another ditto
I moved my site to a server at godaddy.com. Now, I get the same error message: The server can't issue HTTP requests.
So... is the server really the problem or did an update break something?
Update: I just tried it with another site hosted by them and everything worked OK. Perhaps it is incorrect directory permissions. When i figure it out, I'll post the solution.

I get this error on one of my test server after handful of manual rss updates. This problem goes away for a while after I restart my web-server (lighttpd). Seems like some php bug where resource cleanup is not performed properly.
