 OK.

 The {{{curl_version()}}} (with falllback to {{{extension_loaded( 'openssl'
 )}}}) check in [attachment:16606.5.diff 16606.5.diff] is a better check
 for the ability to make an SSL request in {{{WP_Http_Curl}}}.

 PS: for the inflate code, rather than changing
 {{{WP_Http_ExtHttp::request()}}}, should
 {{{WP_Http_Encoding::decompress()}}} just use {{{http_inflate}}} if it's
 available and supported?
