Comment (by sivel):

 Streams does not allow for ssl validation if not using
 stream_socket_client to make the connection as far as I have been able to
 determine.  Currently Streams is using fopen which, even when passed
 verify_peer and verify_host options via stream_context_create, ignores ssl
 validity.

 This patch blacklists streams from making ssl connections.

 At this point, if we do not rewrite streams to use stream_socket_client,
 the only transports capable of handling https are curl and the http
 extension.
