--------------------------+-----------------------------
 The WordPress is_ssl() function incorrectly fails to detect an SSL
 connection when a site uses a non-standard HTTPS port (e.g., 3443 instead
 of 443). The issue lies with the specific line of code that checks ( '443'
 === (string) $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] ).

 This flawed logic causes SSL-dependent functionality to break, including
 leading to redirect loops in the /wp-admin/ dashboard. After removing this
 specific port check from the function, my site's SSL detection works
 correctly and the redirect loop is resolved.
