I've tried searching and can't find any answers to this. For some reason starting with the new 6.x, I am getting this failure in my 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.
Can someone please give me some hints why and how I can fix this? I have drupal running for 3 of my sites, and I really don't want to try to learn a new system because I cant' get this to work correctly. (Plus the hassle of converting everything would be a pain.)
Thanks in advance!
Have a great day!

~~ As a side note, the new search is very difficult to use and will not pull up any relevant results. What happened to the old search?

I get the same error warning
I get the same error warning in the Status Report as well. Running CRON manually seems to clear it every time. Does yours behave the same way?
I also have a number of
parse_url(http:///admin/reports/request-test)errors as well in the detailed log.-RB
CRON doesn't seem to clear
CRON doesn't seem to clear it up unfortunately. I am also not having the additional error message ( parse_url(http:///admin/reports/request-test) )
Have a great day!

Same issue here. Why is no one giving advice on this?
I am having the same problem. Drupal version 6.5. Everything is working great then suddenly errors such as
-Unable to fetch any information about available new
and
-parse_url(http:///admin/reports/request-test)
are showing up.
This all seemed to happen right when drupal 6.6 release came out and was show as an update at http://www.mysite.com/admin/reports/updates
What is going on? Is this just a coincidence.
Why has no one replied to this thread since July?
A search for "parse_url admin/reports/request-test" error in google finds ONLY THIS THREAD.

I've got it too
System has been running fine for months - currently @v6.5 - problem appeared two days ago and none of the approaches suggested in other threads have resolved it. Network folks deny making any relevant changes.
I'm stumped.
I wonder if it is connected with another problem that appeared at about the same time. When uploading, viewing or doing anything with 'file' nodes of any flavor - the load times are in excess of 4 minutes. (Issue #324758)
I have the same problem.
I have the same problem. Just started at 9:00am CST 10/27/08. Has anyone figured out what the problem is?
Same issue, Fresh Drupal 6.8
Same issue, Fresh Drupal 6.8 install.
php.ini
Check your php.ini settings. disable_functions shouldn't contain fsockopen. If you see in php.ini:
disable_functions = something, fsockopen, somethingchange it to
It help's for me.
Of cause, it should also be
allow_url_fopen = OnAnd you can try to add
allow_url_include = On
