Using wp-cron in backpress – problems with wp_remote_post, fsockopen error

From quick look at source mechanics seem very similar, my first suggestion for WP would be to try and bump HTTP transport to curl (I do it with plugin in WP so no idea about specific code).

curl seems to be considerably more robust for corner cases and it’s not WP’s first choice.
