Checking for updates fails always

After many versions if you click on check for updates it always fails. And yes this is an ooo matter. May be after several years you should check it. It never worked.
This is fixed in AOO 4.1.8 Just download and install it: https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
Of course AOO 4.1.8 will say it is "up to date" at the moment.
