Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 I just read the ''second'' section of the PHP docs for
 `WP_Http::request()` which says:

 {{{
          * Send an HTTP request to a URI.
          *
          * Please note: The only URI that are supported in the HTTP
 Transport implementation
          * are the HTTP and HTTPS protocols.
 }}}

 So, even though it works for URIs, it only works for HTTP and HTTPS, which
 really stinks.

 ----
 Perhaps we could introduce a filter here to allow plugins to still use
 this API with unsupported protocols at their own risk?
