Comment:

 The results from the two are identical (it is literally the same code),
 and it does not redirect to https intentionally. The http endpoint of the
 API is supported for older WordPress installs. Older installs did not
 include the cacert.pem file, and so were unreliable when connecting to
 https endpoints, since they could not always perform certificate
 validation.
