Comment (by GregLone):

 Hi there.

 It seems I (and at least one other person on the forum) have a problem
 with the v0.97 of the Beta Tester plugin.
 The new version 0.97 breaks the plugins search, favorites, tags, popular,
 etc, and I've got the error message "An unexpected error occurred...".

 The site is running WP 3.7-alpha-25000 on a local server (on a NAS),
 reachable from outside (dyn-dns), behind a Basic Http Auth, no SSL on the
 server.

 Digging into the plugins_api() function, I can get the wp_remote_post()
 response:

 {{{
 WP_Error Object
 (
     [errors] => Array
         (
             [http_request_failed] => Array
                 (
                     [0] => SSL certificate problem: self signed
 certificate in certificate chain
                 )

         )

     [error_data] => Array
         (
         )

 )
 }}}
 I also tried with a clean WP 3.6 with no other plugins and Twenty Thirteen
 on the same server with no more luck (or may I say with the same luck?
 We're hunting bugs after-all ^^).
 Disabling the Basic Auth doesn't help.

 If you need some more infos...

 Have a good day.
 Greg
