There is no HTTP transports available which can complete the requested request

Hey,

Another user was having this same problem and found solutions here,

“
WordPress will try to use several transports to make the request. First it will try curl, then streams, then fsock.

If your server is set up with curl and your version of curl supports SSL (required for using the Twitter API), then it will use that.

Next it will try to use streams (fopen). If fopen is set up and working on your server, it is set to applow opening from a URL (allow_url_fopen), and openssl is set up and functional, then it will send the request with streams.

Lastly, if your server has fsockopen set up and usable, and openssl is also set up and functional, then it will use fsockopen to make the request.

If none of those work, then it will be unable to send any requests to Twitter. This is all built into the WordPress HTTP API. If your server can’t make the Twitter requests, it will be unable to make many other requests as well. You need to get your host to set up a transport method that WordPress can use.

Let me know if any of the solutions posted there have worked for you!

Thanks for the update, please let me know where in server we need to make the suggested changes in order to fix the issue.

Download failed. There are no HTTP transports available which can complete the requested request.
I had the same problem when trying to download plugins. It worked fine until I installed windows 10. Tried the things that were posted and still can’t get it to work.
This is only happening on my local host.

1. Enable php_curl
2. Enable php_openssl – it create a safe bridge connection with https://
