Version check on a URL failing from Product Manager

[Thunderbird8]

I've been attempting to add a version check URL to the one modification I have on here. When I access the URL directly, the version number comes back. However, when I access it from the Product Manager, it says that the check failed.

The version check URL is https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?do=productcheck&pid=tbird-repreport

The "check failed" message happens when fsockopen fails (admincp/plugin.php, line 799). The error message should contain the errno and errstr that explains why.

Edit: actually, I guess there's "connect failed" and "not found" error messages, the second one being if it can't manage to find a version number in the response. In that case I guess the message isn't much help, but it might help to temporarily hack plugin.php to show the response.

Hmm, it would seem that there's an issue with the - in the product ID. I added the product ID with the - changed to a _ in the modification here, then changed the version check URL. That returned the expected response.

Guess having typoed the ID when entering it here (it was supposed to be a _ in the first place) does matter :P, as looking at the code in plugin.php, it is expecting the product ID that was entered when the product was created.
