Comment (by DvanKooten):

 Could it be that this change is causing issues? The update to WordPress
 4.4 introduced a ton of error reports by users telling me that SSL
 certificate verification failed when connecting to any site over SSL.

 Telling WP_HTTP to skip SSL verification gets rid of the errors.
