 admin over SSL with a site over HTTP. In this situation, WordPress
 currently incorrectly inserts a images into your post content using the
 HTTPS scheme instead of HTTP.

 Becuase there is no need to make an entire site HTTPS that is a basic blog
 site.  That's not the answer to the bug if you ask me.  I don't want to
 serve all HTTPS it's not a requirement for this site.  I just simply want
 to ADMINISTER via HTTPS and not have the images all served up that way.
 This seems like it should just work properly but nobody is taking a moment
 to look at.
