 * There is an checking function for fsockopen In Akismet 2.5.3 admin , although
   there is WordPress HTTP API to connect to Akismet server.
 * I think it’s time to upgrade the check function in admin.php
 * Here is diff
 *     ```
       diff admin.php  ~/www/blog/wp-content/plugins/akismet/admin.php
       166c166
       < 	if ( !function_exists('fsockopen') || !function_exists('gethostbynamel') ) {
       ---
       > 	if ( (!function_exists('fsockopen') || !function_exists('gethostbynamel')) && !function_exists('wp_remote_post') ) {
       706c706
       < 	if ( !function_exists('fsockopen') || !function_exists('gethostbynamel') )
       ---
       > 	if ( (!function_exists('fsockopen') || !function_exists('gethostbynamel')) && !function_exists('wp_remote_post') )
       ```
