 In canonical.php, the function redirect_canonical() includes the following
 line to detect and build an HTTPS url:

 $requested_url  = ( !empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) &&
 strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on' ) ? 'https://' : 'http://';

 On 1and1.com, this logic does not work because $_SERVER['HTTPS'] is set to
 '1' instead of 'on'. It would be better to use the built-in WordPress
 function is_ssl() in this function, which appears to correctly handle all
 hosting sites. The fix would look like this:

 $requested_url  = is_ssl() ? 'https://' : 'http://';
