Comment (by siliconforks):

 The previous patch no longer applied cleanly due to a coding standards
 change - I've uploaded a refreshed version.

 Also, as this bug report approaches its fifth anniversary, it seems that
 there's not a lot of interest in fixing this issue...  I'd just like to
 point out that I don't think I'm the only WordPress user who would like to
 see a fix for this; there appears to be some broader concern in the
 WordPress community that WordPress is performing an excessive number of
 outgoing HTTP requests.  This project aims to make a plugin which will
 reduce these:

 your-wordpress-server

 That plugin might indeed be useful; however, I think it would be even
 better to fix any issue in the WordPress core which may be causing it to
 perform unnecessary HTTP requests in the first place...
