Images added via SSL admin backend are included via https in the frontend

[multimule]

When logged in to the admin interface via a secure connection (SSL / HTTPS), images that are being added to an article will reference the image URL with ​https:// as opposed to ​http://

This behaviour is inconsistent as the method the admin interface is access shall be independent of the frontend output.

It also can break output in case of using self-signed SSL certificates. In that case a client may display the blog correctly, but without any images (or error icons for the images).

Can you reproduce this using a Default theme(TwentyTen or TwentyEleven)?

The link to the image should be dynamically generated when the image is retrieved, the only field that isn't dynamic, is the Guid field, which should never be used as a url to the image (despite the fact that it appears as such).. So it'd be appreciated if you can check to see if it occurs with a "known good" theme (aka, the default themes)

Related to 15928#comment:5 -- multimule's reported behavior is seen when #15928 is worked-around with a filter on get_option('siteurl').

See 19023#comment:5 for an expanded explanation and related discussion.
