Comment:

 The changes introduced in r6790 do not work properly when `BP_ROOT_BLOG`
 is defined as something other than the default. That's because
 `network_site_url()` will always point to the main site's wp-admin, and on
 some setups, some network users do not have access to any wp-admin URLs on
 the main site. Thus, for those users, AJAX requests fail silently. See
 #4850

 I'll try to figure something out (and write some tests so we don't get in
 this mess again). But in the meantime, if we can't figure out a solution
 we are confident with, we should revert r6790 for 1.7, since the HTTPS
 issue here is not a regression, but breaking AJAX for alternative root
 blog setups *is*.
