 Replying to [comment:10 jacobsantos]:
 > That would be the worse thing. I think that instead, the default
 behavior could be to fallback and then add something that allows for the
 fallback to not be used. This would instead call the first available
 callback and then return the response, whether it be WP_Error or response
 array.
 Yes, I think that should do it without limiting any functionality. Perhaps
 after the first failure of fsockopen we can add a temp option to disable
 it for lets say 24 hours. A small function that will keep the last disable
 time and set the 'use_fsockopen_transport' to false, then remove it when
 time has passed.
