 * Hi!
 * I’m desperately looking for a way to create base-relative images-URIs. I’ve already
   read ‘some’ threads and arguments about this issue in the past, but I couldn’t
   find any practical solution 🙁
 * In my special case, the problem with absolute image-URIs is caused because /wp-
   admin is accessible only via ‘https’ for security reasons, but the main blog-
   site is not (-> http).
    Because new blog entrys are written under ‘https’ all
   the image-links are hard-pointing to the https-version. That’s realy a pain in
   the ass:-(
 * Is there realy no clean way to avoid the absolute image-urls?
 * Thanks
    Mark

 * Hey yogi,
 * thank’s but I’m afraid I didn’t get it:-) How does this help?
    Im searching for
   a method to generate base-relative image links..
 * Instead of ‘[https://www.mysite.org/test/test.jpg&#8217](https://www.mysite.org/test/test.jpg&#8217);
   the link saved to the db by WP should be ‘/test/test.jpg’ by default.
    In this
   case the image would be displayed under https AND https-protocol – otherwise 
   only under https.. 🙁
