   An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request.” and so far i havent
   been able to figure out how to get round this

 * Try and replace all files and folders except **wp-content** folder of same version
   wordpress see if that solves the problem.

 * IT could be that the hosting provider is blocking or filtering / tampering any
   type of outgoing http traffic from your WordPress installation.
 * Check with the hosting provider.
