Some subscriptions fail because the url parameter sent to "wp_remote_get" or "wp_remote_post" doesn't starts with "http://".
This is the change I suggest:

I think maybe with certain versions of PHP and/or WordPress, calls to wp_remote_get without "http://" doesn't fail, but in my environment (PHP 5.2.13 / WordPress 2.8.2) they do.
I left backward compatibility with domain parameters already starting with "http://".
In http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_API/wp_remote_get you can see that wp_remote_get should receive an URL and examples use "http://..."
