HTTPS again?

I have setup my wordpress host to run via http and https. When I login to the admin panel I’m only using https. But when I try to use PrettyPress it does not load.

I inspected the frame and it tries to load the http version, but the browser prevents it (tested on firefox and chrome). So I digged deeper and found out that the WP function get_permalink( $id ) returns the http scheme. It uses the home_url() function internally that should automatically detect the correct scheme via is_ssl() function. The is_ssl() function correctly returns true but home_url() does not return https! So I guess this is a wordpress issue?

What did correctly work is the site_url() function…

I made a quick and dirty fix. But maybe you find a better solution. Please find my fix below. I put this into the prettypress/view/edit.php file:

<!-- PrettyPress meta -->
<div id="prettypress_meta">
	<input type="hidden" id="prettypress_post_id" value="<?php echo $post->ID; ?>" />
	<?php
	preg_match("/(http[s]?).*/", site_url(), $schemeToUse);
	$permalink = preg_replace( "/(http[s]?)/", $schemeToUse[1], get_permalink( $post->ID ) );
	?>
	<input type="hidden" id="prettypress_post_permalink" value="<?php echo $permalink; ?>" />
	<?php
	if (! empty( $_GET['prettypress_active'] ) ) { ?>
	<input type="hidden" id="prettypress_autoload" value="1" />
	<?php }	?>
</div>
