Comment:

 I've run into a couple similar issues since updating to the latest nightly
 build. First off, I had the same issue as @ocean90 when doing a network
 upgrade. Second, I can no longer query a server on a non-standard port.

 I believe this came in with the addition of wp_http_validate_url in
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/24480 24480]. While I always
 respect a push for additional security, this one might be a little much.
 Furthermore, if I'm reading it correctly (and please, correct me if I'm
 wrong), it seems like this was added a week ago, is already live in 3.5.2,
 and didn't even get a nod in the
 [http://wordpress.org/news/2013/06/wordpress-3-5-2/ release announcement].
 If that's the case, developers really had no warning that this was coming,
 no notice that it deployed, and no time to test their code. Am I missing
 something really obvious or am I completely misreading what happened?
