[wp-testers] Plugin update not working

[DD32]

Well.. I've seen a few people with problems on MAMP.. Stupid macs ;)

Anyway, Heres an alpha release of a plugin i'm working on:
http://dd32.id.au/files/core-control.zip

 * Activate that,
 * Then head over to the "Core Control" options page,
 * Activate the HTTP module  & Updates module
 * Head into the HTTP page (its up the top there)
 * Click "Test" on the Primary transports, If one fails to work, Click
"Disable Transport" (most likely you'll do this to the cURL transport)
 * See if the updates work properly:
 * Now, Head into the Updates tab now (up the top again)
 * Force an update check to occur for the plugins by clicking the link (You
can do Themes/Core too if you so wish)

Report back with any errors that it throws up, Hopefully it might shed some
light.

Just to repeat, That plugin is alpha, and not release quality, Its UI needs
some work, and some of the modules code is horrible :) (Well.. actually its
bloody beautiful compared to some WP plugins I've seen recently...)
