14873	HTTPS related issue with ms-settings.php	mareck		"ms-settings.php hard-codes ""http://"" in a few places.  This didn't impact me, but I can see that it might impact someone.  

Hopefully, a developer can take a look at the code and verify that, in fact, it has to change.  Seems like it does since hard-coding ""http:"" isn't a good practice, but I don't want to claim it since I haven't seen the need for it personally.

Here's the updated code that needs to replace the code in ms-settings.php starting at line 83 and ending at line 105:
