Description

On 2.4, if an XMLRPC sync attempt fails, a notice is displayed by the firewall but it contains a cURL exception error:

CurlException calling XMLRPC method host_firmware_version #HTTP_Request2_ConnectionException: Unable to connect to tls://172.16.1.3:443. Error: Operation timed out in /usr/local/share/pear/HTTP/Request2/Adapter/Socket.php on line 332

In this past this was a much more friendly error message, such as "A communications error occurred while attempting XMLRPC sync ..." and it printed the username and target URL.

Looks like we need to catch that exception and setup our own handling and notice.
