 * Hi there,
    I have recently had this problem with WordPress. Every time I try 
   to import anything to WordPress i just get a pop up saying “An Unexpected HTTP
   Error occurred during the API request.”
 * I have installed Core-Control, changed the timeout on class-http
    BUT still nothing
   has changed! Nothing is working! :/
 * PLEASE HELP ME! 🙁

   post?!

 * You did not read all replies, so did not try all that; so I cannot help further
 * Figured it out. Ended up being something in my theme. I switched back to TwentyTen
   and things worked perfectly. Went in and modified some admin functions in my 
   theme and that seemed to fix it.

 * I did. I read all replies on all pages. I have switched themes and the same thing
   still happens. Well what admin functions do I need to edit then?

 *  As the cURL transport is the currently active one, Disable that
 *  (It’s in order of priorities, If cURL is not available, it’ll switch to using
   PHP Streams, But ig the PHP HTTP Extension became available, it’d use that instead)
 *  “name lookup timed out” is a common-ish problem with curl installations, if 
   something goes wrong, it’ll be that in most scenario’s.
 *  Disable the cURL transport and see how you go 🙂
