Test for remote URL

[bojon]

I have uploaded CMS to the server. At the start a warning!

Test for remote URL
Outgoing http connections do not appear to work. This will result in module manager, and potentially other functionality failing.
You will probably not be able to open a file on a remote web server.

How can i fix it?

Thanks Bojon

May be a rule in your hosting provider's firewall. Talk with this provider.
