# Import does not work..

 * I want to replicate my blog on my localhost running Apache. On my own Macbook
   Pro.
 * So I export XML from WP 3.2.1. Download the file.
 * When I run import, it takes less than a second in the modal popup window to show
   me this:
 * `An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request.`
 * Googling for it brings up much older posts that suggest I change the timeout 
   in “class-http.php”. I made this tweak.
 * Nothing. Same error still.
 * Any other ideas?
 * Thanks!
