 When making an HTTPS connection via WP_Http_Fsockopen, the host header
 sent in the request is:

 {{{
 Host: ssl://example.com
 }}}

 It's prefixing the socket transport identifier.  That's what you're
 supposed to do when calling fsockopen, not when sending the host header.

 The correct host header is:


 {{{
 Host: example.com
 }}}
