I can't download update 4.0 or install themes I get SSL error

I’ve opened a ticket with my host (WestHost) and just got a note that ‘it looks like it is related to the version of OpenSSL or curl that your account is running’ and they are going to look at the server for a fix.

Yes, it looks like they did. I’m going to contact them and see what they did and I’ll report back

Here is what I got back from my host

Hello,

Thank you for your patience. Our level 2 technicians made some small changes to the current version of CURL installed on the website. They had to change that to use different libraries on the account. In this case it wouldn’t really be something that could be applied to other accounts.

I’d suggest you contact your host’s spuuort group

If you read my last post you will have all the information I have.

I tried to update WordPress and each time I try the download fails. It says:

An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums. (WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.) in /home/solomonliberty/public_html/wp-admin/includes/update.php on line 117

What should I do?

Each and every time when I try update WordPress for my site it gives me an error code then I have to contact my hosting provider. Sometimes they fix it and sometimes its really frustrating.
