Comment (by ka2):

 Thank you for your consideration various about my patch.

 As you say, I also think that there is no benefit to the existing HTTP
 request processing even if the verification of the IP address by my patch
 was stricter.
 However, I think that this function is useable from a place other than the
 core, as for example plugins. Also I think that it will become very user-
 friendly feature if "WP_Http::is_ip_address()" will be able to strictly
 the IP validation.

 As another approach, I thought that divides the verification processing by
 adding a toggle of strict verification to the second argument of the
 function. But it just would simply become a redundant function.

 I suggested to the ticket because I thought that might be there are happy
 to some people in the case that became to be able to complete IP address
 verification in this function.

 Thank you,
