Comment(by dd32):

 >  then why won't you just do the check in the transport and then change
 the HTTPS scheme to a HTTP one?

 Changing from HTTPS to HTTP is a no-no, If someone asks for a HTTPS
 connection, You give them a HTTPS connection.

 The problem here is, that not all the transports can support a HTTPS
 connection, If you have multiple connections being made on a pageload, the
 first request determines which transport is used for that connection

 So if the first request is a HTTP request, It may be made over
 Class_NoSSL, Then a HTTPS request comes along (of the same GET/POST type),
 it'll be passed to Class_NoSSL as ::test() passed last time.

 This is due to #8622, Which should probably be fixed instead of this, or
 along side.
