 Ticket is for transitioning the remaining functions over to the HTTP API.
 This does not include the dependencies on Snoopy, but it might in the
 future. It also does not include the SSL remote URL check, I'm not sure
 how to achieve that using the API (look for 200 maybe and check that URL
 was not redirected, maybe).

 Supercedes #7224, #7676, and #7751.

 Discussion on removing Snoopy can also begin. I'll start, basically since
 Magpie requires it, it might be best to leave it alone. The core of
 WordPress now doesn't use it (I'll confirm that), so it might not make
 sense refactoring an external library to use a WordPress one.
