 * HA! That’s interesting. I hadn’t seen your comment here, but had just checke 
   my site with the same plugin, PHP Compatibility Checker (assume you used this),
   and I got the same warning. I was coming over here to post the same question,
   and I see you’ve done it for me!
 * So, make that two people that would like to know.
 * I also ran it for 5.6 to see what that would say, and here’s that:
 * FILE: …./wp-content/plugins/broken-link-checker/modules/checkers/http.php
