 * Hi,
 * If you create a post while logged in to wordpress over https, the url that wp-
   to-twitter posts on twitter is a link to your site via https. This is undesirable
   if you use a self signed certificate because then users see an SSL error when
   they visit your site.
 * Please consider making an option to always post http links rather than https.
 * Thanks,
 * Jason

 * I’ll consider that. I have to be able to differentiate between https and http
   links in some way, however, because the t.co short URL is a different length 
   depending on whether or not it’s over HTTPS.

 * So, I haven’t been able to reproduce this. Which URL shortener, if any, are you
   using?

 * Hi,
 * I’m using bit.ly
 * Here is a link to a post I did today:

 * Since I posted my feature request to you, I upgraded to a proper SSL certificate
   so I no longer get the error on this site. However I still think its a worthwhile
   thing to add for people who are using self signed certs.

 * So, I tested this with Bit.ly, and I’m still not getting the same result; I’m
   getting an http link.
 * Under Settings > General, what values are entered for “WordPress Address” and“
   Site Address”?
