make menu items in menu-headers.php relative

[bmontgom]

The URIs for the menu items in menu-headers.php are not relative URIs. These are the only URIs on the page that are not this way. I've been working on a plugin to allow for the login, register, and admin functions to be done using SSL. It is working, but I had to modify menu-headers.php to make the menu item URIs relative in order to get everything correct. A patch for my changes is attached.

You can use ​Secure Admin which used in WordPress.Com, see: ​http://wordpress.com/blog/2006/03/08/secure-blogging/.

With my limited knowledge, I can't think of a negative to having the URLs be relative, and I see a small benefit.

Only potential downside I can see is that it wouldn't work if there was a WP admin page in a subdirectory of /wp-admin/

Can we think of any case where that would happen? I've certainly never seen it.

No opinion.
