 * Hi All,
 * Since a last few weeks am repeatedly noticing these type of errors popping up
   when i try to update a plugin or a theme that am on. This even happened when 
   i updated the WP to the latest patch release.
 * I searched in the forums but not sure why i couldnt bump into something apt with
   regard to the solution.
 * Has anyone else faced such things and if yes what needs to be done on my side
   or something from the server administration to overcome this.

 * This is usually a server issue – sometimes caused by a failure to compile PHP
   with cUrl. Contact your hosts about it.
