Plugin updates not working after install WP 4.2

4.2.1 plugin updates not working.
themes updates not working in bulk mode, working only one by one.
getting “Connection reset” error.
what security update is this, when we have no way of updating plugins anymore ???

Problem fixed!

You should have a simple edit on wp-admin/includes/file.php

Replace line 149
if ( empty( $filename ) || ‘.’ == $filename ) {
with
if ( empty( $filename ) || ‘.’ == $filename || ‘/’ === $filename ) {

Tested and working !

This is the second thread where I see…

Replace line 149
if ( empty( $filename ) || ‘.’ == $filename ) {
with
if ( empty( $filename ) || ‘.’ == $filename || ‘/’ === $filename ) {

Is there really three (3) equal signs at the end of this line === $filename??

if ( empty( $filename ) || ‘.’ == $filename || ‘/’ === $filename )

I opened my file and it has only two (2) equal signs…

if ( empty( $filename ) || '.' == $filename || '/' == $filename ) {

I am asking as I am having the same issue where none of my plugins seem to update. They just spin forever and nothing happens. I can manually update them, but using the WP interface, it just does not happen.
