The easiest way to get the HTTP/HTTPS version of any URL.

== Description ==

Use the simple `[http-url]` shortcode to convert any URL to either HTTP or HTTPS.

= The Shortcode =
`[http-url]`
By default the `[http-url]` shortcode will output the URL of the current post converted to HTTP. Note: must be used within the loop.

= Shortcode Attributes =
**`url`** - manually specify the URL to be converted (can be used outside the loop):
`[http-url url="https://mysite.com"]`

**`to_https`** - convert URL to HTTPS, instead of to HTTP:
`[http-url to_https="true"]`

= PHP Usage =
HTTP URLs also provides two functions that can be used in your php:
`hu_get_http_url( $url ); // Returns URL converted to HTTP
hu_get_https_url( $url ); // Returns URL converted to HTTPS`

= Why Use This Plugin? =
The most common case for using this plugin is in conjunction with social media sharing/commenting plugins, in which data is tied to a specific URL. On sites that are visible via both HTTP and HTTPS, this means that two different sets of differing data are created for every page. HTTP URLs provides a handy solution to this common problem.
