no gurus here.

anyway, how's this for reduction?

$site->uri = 'http' . ($securityEnabled ? 's' : '') . '://' .
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

this is in a configuration file of mine. $securityEnabled when true, changes
the protocol go to https. i use $site->uri in my other pages to include
other resources like javascript, images, documents, etc.. it works nicely to
avoid getting 'some content is secure and some isn't' type warninging in
your browser.

your switch is simply propogated by each page by setting $securityEnabled
and including the suggested code.
