Comment (by Otto42):

 -1 to this patch. Instead of patching this chunk of code, we should
 migrate the pingback (and trackback) functionality to use the new built in
 HTTP API. Get rid of the direct fsocket crap entirely.

 Note that the new HTTP API already has the ability to follow redirections
 when it is appropriate to do so.

 See ticket #7676.
