I activated the module, it seems to work fine, but now I get an error message from Drupal Status Report:
HTTP request status Fails

Any way to avoid this?

The moduel located below talks about resetting the drupal_http_request_fails flag. Anybody know how to do that manually?
http://drupal.org/project/http_request_fail_reset

I switched my sight from http to https and then this error popped up.

Found this as a temporary solution:

Version: 6.x-1.8 » 6.x-1.9

Having the same problem. After setting Secure Pages to "Enabled" at /admin/build/securepages, I get the HTTP Request Status set to Fail. From what I understand, the temporary solution stated above by jsherk won't stay permanent and I'll have to reset the flag whenever it goes back to Fail. Is that correct? Any progress on this in Drupal 6?

This is a core issue: #245990: HTTP request testing unreliable and may be undesirable
The cause of the status report warning is http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--system--system.module/function... trying to request the site's own front page. Possibly something is wrong with your DNS or network configuration.
