admin_url() doesn't return proper scheme even when $scheme is passed

    I have a plugin that I manage and we use

    admin_url('admin-ajax.php', ( is_ssl() ) ? 'https' : 'http'));

    to make sure our ajax requests use the proper url.

    When the “force SSL on admin” setting is not enabled admin_url() will ALWAYS use http instead of https scheme. Here’s the workaround I used:

    //make sure admin_url() returns proper scheme - set to super low priority to make sure this is run last
add_filter('admin_url', array(&$this, 'filter_admin_url'), 999);

/**
 * Ensures that admin_url() uses the correct URL scheme when WordPress HTTPS
 * plugin is enabled
 *
 * @since 2.9.2.4
 *
 * @param string $url
 * @return string
 */

function filter_admin_url( $url ) {
   if ( class_exists('WordPressHTTPS') )
      return is_ssl() ? str_replace('https://', 'https://', $url) : str_replace('https://', 'https://', $url);

   return $url;
}
