Requests_Transport_fsockopen::verify_certificate_from_context() WordPress Method
The Requests_Transport_fsockopen::verify_certificate_from_context() function provides a way to verify a SSL certificate from a context. This is useful when you need to verify a certificate that is not in the standard bundle, or when you need to provide extra context options for the verification process.
Requests_Transport_fsockopen::verify_certificate_from_context( string $host, resource $context ) #
Verify the certificate against common name and subject alternative names
Description
Unfortunately, PHP doesn’t check the certificate against the alternative names, leading things like ‘https://www.github.com/‘ to be invalid. Instead
