Wrong Behaviour on get_site_url for multiple sites with different protocol

[matteowebsolution]

Hi guys,
i think i found something that imho isn't working at all as expected.

Let's go with some explaination:

• I have a multisite network which has 4 sites
• 1 site, the main one, is under HTTPS protocol, the rest are under normal HTTP
• I've made a unique theme, customized for all 4 sites
• I don't want to pass the scheme to get_site_url() , this should be created dinamically

In theme footer, i'm calling the function get_site_url() for pointing each site to other ones.

Something really bad happens here:

• The first site (the ​https:// one) show all the links with https on top, and it's totally wrong as the remaining sites are all under http
• Instead, the remaining sites show all the link with http on top, included the first https one

So, after inspecting a while, it seems you're doing something i cannot really explain...

• function get_site_url (link-template.php, row 3063) get the siteurl option from database using get_option('siteurl') and then you call set_url_scheme
• function set_url_scheme will be blocked from first condition check if(! $scheme) , so we're going to is_ssl()
• and here we are with something misunderstood... function is_ssl() checks if $_SERVER[ 'HTTPS' ] global var is set and return true or false for the current server configuration, not bothering of other sites configuration (!?!?!?!?!?)
• so when i interrogate a HTTPS site, all links will be ssl, when i interrogate a HTTP site, all links won't have ahead that protocol.

I don't think this is an optimal way to check this thing honestly...

Could we discuss about it?

Hello!

I came here to post the same issue, and then dig around little more..

Here is a quickfix.

wp-includes/link-template.php (line 3020; get_site_url()):

        if ( parse_url( $url, PHP_URL_SCHEME ) == 'http' )
                $scheme = 'http';

However I'm new to WordPress and this might not be an acceptable solution!
