Comment (by dd32):

 At no point during WordPress should the IP address be used directly, and
 as such, the SSL certs do not list the IP address, you'll find this is
 insanely common amongst almost every SSL host as IP addresses change, and
 hosts have multiple SSL websites served from IP address, so you should
 instead always test with the full hostname, api.wordpress.org.

 Back to the error at hand though, it sounds like either something in the
 cURL version you have installed isn't compatible with SSL connections, or,
 something else in PHP is preventing the SSL from working. The version of
 cURL installed in PHP will almost always be 100% different from the
 command line curl installed on the server.


 Could you supply the exact message that WordPress is hitting?
 This should return a WP_Error object with the error: (Note: You'll have to
 remove your streams-only filter first of course)
 {{{ var_dump( wp_remote_get( 'https://api.wordpress.org/') ); }}}
 Can you also post the output of:
 {{{ var_dump( curl_version() ); }}}
