Comment:

 So nacin, Viper007Bond and myself discussed that we should switch
 sslverify to false as a default and keep the filter so if it is needed we
 can force verification.

 Also we were using wp_remote_post with no body, which gets converted to a
 GET request and we make sure in wp-cron.php that $_POST is empty before
 continuing.

 We may still want to look at the following logic in wp-cron.php as it
 seems a little strange that we are making sure $_POST is empty:

 {{{
 if ( !empty($_POST) || defined('DOING_AJAX') || defined('DOING_CRON') )
         die();
 }}}
