 * As always – thank you very much for your help! If curl wouldn’t work, would the
   available modules be displayed in the admin interface?
 * EDIT: I will try further methods tomorrow. I work the whole day solving that

   very much again!

 * **What I have changed now:**
    I added IP for wordpress.org to hosts file -> changing
   error in health check plugin from:
 * > Communication with WordPress.org Unable to reach WordPress.org at wordpress.
   > org: cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: wordpress.org
 * to
 * > Communication with WordPress.org Unable to reach WordPress.org at 66.155.40.250:
   > cURL error 35:
 * Other errors still the same.
 * Is there a way to display any more detailed error message than cURL error 35?
 * Be right back (buying some food)
