Since Jetpack works across many different hosting providers (some which may not support HTTPS / SSL), it attempts to detect support by making an HTTPS request to WordPress.com, which is then cached for 1 day. On VIP, SSL is always supported so we can skip this check by filtering the transient used to store the result.
