 * Use of $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’] is not working when I am running WordPress 4.3.1 over
   https:// protocol.
 * Reason: $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’] is not reliable, instead you should use something ike:
 * `'http'.(443 == $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']?'s':'')`
 * In fact, I have edited your source in my local version to reflect the above and
   this rectifies the problem.
 * Refer: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1175096/how-to-find-out-if-youre-using-https-without-serverhttps](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1175096/how-to-find-out-if-youre-using-https-without-serverhttps)
 * I don’t have a link to my site as it affects the admin area of WordPress.
 * Thank you for your work.
 * Cheers,
 * Mat
