Correction

Just a note on this bit: "there's a simple hack for functions.php that can doesn't require you to update your database"

...talks about functions.php but the article is mostly focused on wp-config.php

Also "can doesn't" ?

Bug in WP_LOCATION code sample redirects to https

function WP_LOCATION assumes $_SERVER['HTTPS'] returns null if http

At least for IIS, the value is "off" causing redirection to https.

This line should be replaced: $retval = 'http' . ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] ? 's' : null) . '://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $wp_path ;

This line is correct: $retval = 'http' . ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "on" ? 's' : null) . '://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $wp_path ;

using wp-config

Wouldn't this be easier in wp-config.php?

Add: define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ); define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ); define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/wp-content' );'

to the top of your wp-config file.
