 When requesting a resource with a IP based URL and an explicitly set Host
 header fsockopen fails.

 wp_remote_post():
 $url = http://72.233.69.89/1.1/verify-key
 $args = Array
 (
     [body] => key=xxxxxxxxxxxx&blog=http%3A%2F%2Ffriedcell.si%2Foutbreak
     [headers] => Array
         (
             [Content-Type] => application/x-www-form-urlencoded;
 charset=UTF-8
             [Host] => rest.akismet.com
             [User-Agent] => WordPress/3.5.1 | Akismet/2.5.7
         )

     [httpversion] => 1.0
     [timeout] => 15
 )

 WP_Http_Fsockopen $strHeaders just before
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/class-
 http.php#L729 fwrite]:
 POST /1.1/verify-key HTTP/1.0
 Host: 72.233.69.89
 User-agent: WordPress/3.5.1 | Akismet/2.5.7
 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
 Host: rest.akismet.com
 Accept-Encoding: deflate;q=1.0, compress;q=0.5
 Content-Length: 58

 key=xxxxxxxxxxxx&blog=http%3A%2F%2Ffriedcell.si%2Foutbreak

 The request fails as the first Host header is used.

 When $arrURL!['host'] is an IP and there is a Host header in
 $r!['headers'], the Host header should not be added from the URL
 (http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/class-
 http.php#L706) so that the explicitly specified Host header is used.
