Comment:

 Rouven is correct, but it's even better to use filters rather than hacking
 core file:

 {{{
 add_filter( 'https_ssl_verify',       '__return_false' );
 add_filter( 'https_local_ssl_verify', '__return_false' );
 }}}

 Don't leave that on permanently, though, just when you're running the
 network upgrade. Otherwise you'd open the server up to impersonation
 attacks, etc.
