bloginfo() to return https/ssl url

[jtlowe22]

bloginfo() should include a parameter that allows the function to return the 'https' URL string.

example: bloginfo("secure_url")

case 'secure_url' :
  $output =  home_url();
  $output = str_replace('http://', 'https://', $output);
  break;

general-template.php containing the updated bloginfo() parameter

Why not use home_url( , 'https' ) instead?

BTW, bloginfo( 'url' ) is deprecated according to ​the codex, but actually it's not in the core...

we are not adding new sections to bloginfo.

You should use the already existing functions with are SSL aware like home_url, site_url etc.
