I do not recall anything about that shell function.

I found a half-thread with similar-looking report on an obscure
system, since the 2.25 era:

https://lore.kernel.org/git/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.2003252000200.46@tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet/

And then from you that is even older, in the 2.21 era:

https://lore.kernel.org/git/002201d4c560$5a319c40$0e94d4c0$@nexbridge.com/

But neither seems to lead to a discussion on the use of verify_http_result
helper.
