Multisite: Site Address (URL) does not reflect proper https protocol on fresh install

[jrmorris77]

Description of issue:
When doing a fresh install of WordPress 4.7.2 using ​https:// as the protocol throughout the entire process, when enabling multisite Siteurl and Home URL are correctly registered as ​https:// but Site Address (URL) stays ​http://. After checking the DB, no references are in the database other than the default post content and default comment author URL. All options and meta values reference the correct schema.

Line 161: /wp-admin/network/site-info.php

<?php
                // The main site of the network should not be updated on this page.
                if ( $is_main_site ) : ?>
                <tr class="form-field">
                        <th scope="row"><?php _e( 'Site Address (URL)' ); ?></th>
                        <td><?php echo esc_url( $details->domain . $details->path ); ?></td>
                </tr>
                <?php
                // For any other site, the scheme, domain, and path can all be changed.
                else : ?>
                <tr class="form-field form-required">
                        <th scope="row"><?php _e( 'Site Address (URL)' ); ?></th>
                        <td><input name="blog[url]" type="text" id="url" value="<?php echo $parsed_scheme . '://' . esc_attr( $details->domain ) . esc_attr( $details->path ); ?>" /></td>
                </tr>
                <?php endif; ?>

Hi @jrmorris77, and welcome to Trac!

Thanks for the report. This issue was already described in #39365, and fixed in [39930], so it will be fixed in the next major release. However it is only a display issue. For the main site, the code snippet you posted always displays the URL with http:// regardless of what is actually specified in the database. So the actual values of URLs should be correct, they are just displayed incorrectly in this one location.
