smiley converter creates URLs with the wrong base - patch included

[peregrine]

I have the "WordPress Address" option set to an ​https:// URI and the "Blog Address" URI set to the ​http:// location.

I posted an article in which I had included a :( "smiley" (or should I call it a "frowny" in this case :) ?). It produced an ​https:// URL for the image. This caused users of a Planet that aggregates my blog to see a dialog in their browsers asking them to decide what to do with my self-signed-only certificate.

A little diggin and I came up with this patch to the wp-include/vars.php file, which I will attach.

diff -u patch for wp-include/vars.php that fixes this bug.

I think the "wordpress address" has to be used, cause it's the full path the the wp-* dirs, whereas "blog address" is the path to the permalinks base. so if you install in /wordpress/ and serve from /, the paths to the smilies will be off.... interesting dilemma.

I think we can say that this patch is invalid for the reason MattRead states above.

If you want a secure admin can you not use the ​SecureAdmin plugin?
