Comment (by stefwilliams):

 @TobiasBg:
 As far as I can tell, the parameters it takes are a URL (presumably of the
 site that you want to mark as 'safe'). I have tried passing this with and
 without the protocol and with and without the directory names.
 No matter what I try, my custom RSS widget in the admin dashboard still
 says:
 RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: A valid URL was not provided.
 It is definitely a valid URL that I am passing in...
 The functions also allow $args to be passed in, the default being
 $args['reject_unsafe_urls'] = true;
 But changing this to false does not work either.
 All I'm trying to do is pass an RSS feed from a site on the same multisite
 install into the admin dash panel...

 @dd32:
 Your answer came while I was writing this. In ticket 24646, it seems to
 suggest that wp_safe_remote_* IS for this purpose, as opposed to
 wp_remote_*(), which block access...?
