Cannot download any extras: provider URL returns 404

On a brand-new Revo installation, when trying to download extras, the following error message is shown:

An error occurred while connecting to the Provider: MODX received a blank response from the provider. Please double check your service URL and make sure the provider is a valid provider.

MODX Revolution 2.6.0-pl
Ubuntu 17.04 64bit
PHP 5.6.32 with all necessary extensions

Checked the predefined provider, looks okay to me:

modx.com https://rest.modx.com/extras/ The official MODX transport provider for 3rd party components.

Testing the provider URL from the site host reveals the following:

$ wget https://rest.modx.com/extras
--2017-11-22 23:09:30--  https://rest.modx.com/extras
Resolving rest.modx.com (rest.modx.com)... 169.46.7.136
Connecting to rest.modx.com (rest.modx.com)|169.46.7.136|:443... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
2017-11-22 23:09:31 ERROR 404: Not Found.

Opening the provider URL in my local browser results in the following response:

{"status":404,"message":"Resource not found"}

Something is broken, I guess... Please advise.

Thanks so much in advance!
Best, Willy

Using wget on that url or opening it in your browser won't work that way.
Are you still getting the same error within the manager? I remember there was a modx.com outage perhaps about the same time you posted this.
