--------------------------+-----------------------------
 The Transport/fsockopen.php library hard codes port 443 when the scheme
 https is used. This does not allow for a custom port when using the https
 scheme. e.g. https://example.com:900/ would be converted to
 https://example.com:443/. Attached patch fixes this by checking if the
 port is not already specified.

 This patch can be applied separately but was discovered while creating the
 patch for ticket #37991
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/37991/]. Both tickets
 should be addressed together as they are related (this one impacts #37991
 and #37991 restores expected behavior for https scheme).
