This appears to be a permissions problem, I've commented on this under TWikiOnUbuntu where you also posted this. Please respond there.

I'm having a similar issue with my configure script or maybe a different one. I've got a fully locked-down install. Everything inside TWiki and in configure seems to work, but when I click the "Find More Extensions" I get taken to a page that says something like: >>> Error accessing TWiki.org: Incomplete headers <<<< This all in a yellow box with nothing to click on.

Thanks Peter. I'm calling it answered anyway. For the record -> I think it had something to do with either the CacheAddOn or my attempts to install the CalendarPlugin (both failed). Due to CacheAddOn not wanting to work in a secured install, I removed that. Due to CalendarPlugin totally not installing, I attempted to fix things by re-tweaking my perl paths. Among all this, the configure/find more extensions is now suddenly working.
