 > The question is, if this is a common misconfiguration then is it worth
 reverting [28610]? Moving this to 4.0.1 for consideration.

 Thanks for considering reverting this, John. I really appreciate all the
 effort you put into this matter. One thing I would like to put into
 consideration is that it might be a good idea to make this new behavior of
 Wordpress configurable, just like FORCE_SSL_ADMIN?

 Cloudflare serves 1M+ websites. They confirmed the behavior of their
 service as I am experiencing it. I would say this is quite a common
 misconfiguration with so much websites potentially affected :)
