[wp-hackers] Protocol Relative URLs and wp_register_script()

[Mike Walsh]

Over the weekend I received a patch for one of my plugins which changes how
I load a jQuery script from the Microsoft CDN.  The change removes the
"http:" from the URL leaving the remainder, including of the URL including
the "//".  The purpose of this change is to avoid mixcontent warnings when
serving the site over https.

I was a bit leery of making the change as submitted but did some reading
and found this article:

Is there a better way to support this within WordPress or is this solution
generally accepted as the right way to do it?

Mike
