 * I am not challenging the fact that WordPress stores absolute URIs in the DB. 
   What I am interested in is a way of circumventing this on a page of the site 
   that requires https (the log in page). I figure I should be able to link to CSS
   and JS, using relative paths: /wp-content/themes/my-awesome-theme/js/my-elegant-
   script.js
 * I realize that enqueuing scripts and styles is the accepted way of getting such
   resources on the page, but in this case they would generate URIs under http.
 * Unfortunately, on [https://my-domain](https://my-domain) I’m getting a bunch 
   of 404 errors for CSS and JS included in the page using relative paths, wheres
   they show up just fine under [http://my-domain](http://my-domain)
 * I realize this may not be a WordPress-specific problem, but that probably enough
   people have encountered it and solved it in WordPress so as to make this a worthwhile
   question.
 * Thanks and regards.
