 Hi there.

 I'll explain a case where the way to get the ajax URL in
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/AJAX_in_Plugins] is not working.

 If FORCE_SSL_ADMIN is set to true but not the front, then using admin_url(
 admin-ajax.php' ) in front will return a https URL that will lead us to
 the following error when we try to trigger an AJAX action:

 ...  No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested
 resource. Origin ...

 Because if Javascript calls to an https URL it should be called from
 another https in the same site.

 So, I want to ask for an ajax_url() function that checks SSL constants and
 return a different URL depending on them.

 Basically, the function would return something like this:


 {{{
 admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php', (is_ssl() ? 'https' : 'http') );
 }}}


 Yeah, I could add it in every plugin but why not a function with that code
 included? Am I crazy asking for it?
