 Hello,

 I have been developing with wordpress for over 7 years and its great, have
 customized it a lot and achieved great results with it.

 I came across an interesting situation where the server is actually
 proxying another server and when visiting the https:// version the
 "default" $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on' or $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] = 443 does
 not get set but instead the following takes place:

 $_SERVER[HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO] = 'https';

 So even when the URL is https:// the function is_ssl() is not functioning
 properly as its not one of the conditions to detect.

 A solution would be to provide a hook to the is_ssl function and let these
 rare and special cases be handled when necessary or incorporate the above
 condition as well.

 Thank you very much for looking into this, I will be glad to address any
 questions.
