   the exact same problem is still occurring in the latest version of WordPress (
   3.3.1).
 * I am hosted on an suPHP system where I don’t have access to their config (linux/
   apache).
 * in wp-includes/functions.php:
 *     ```
       function is_ssl() {
   
               if ( isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) ) {
                       if ( 'on' == strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) )
                               return true;
                       if ( '1' == $_SERVER['HTTPS'] )
                                return true;
               #} elseif ( isset($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']) && ( '443' == $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] ) ) {
               #        return true;
               }
               return false;
       }
       ```
   
 * The commenting out of the last check for SERVER_PORT fixes the problem that https
   is forced for all links, style sheets, images etc. which breaks my installation
   as I don’t have an SSL certificate.
 * This issue is 2 years old – please look into correcting this?
