 curl -D /dev/stdout https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/update-check/1.1/

 produces – of course – an error message, because the api call is wrong.

 But it's header says

 Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

 while the body is just

 error

 which is not json and thus breaks REST Clients. Either return json, or do
 not claim the content type is json.
