When inserting images for a banner or page content trough the admin area, the path to the inserted pictures always start with “https://domain.com/images/…” instead of relative path like “images/…” by default.
Getting images to show through a ssl connecting is twice as slow as a normal connection.
Is there a reason for this behaviour?
Can I modify this default?
(I know I can change this manually when inserting image)
Depends on several factors. You should not force images to be http on an https page.
Your images SHOULD all be relative if they are on your site. Hence they will always inherit the protocol (http or https) of the page.
If your images are http/https referenced then there is a problem in how you are specifying them.
Yes, ssl sends about 2X the data of an http request. Nature of encryption.
Yes, exactly. I don't want to enforce http instead of https but I just want them to be inserted as relative.
I have to manualy remove the https and make them relative.

I use the standard TinyMCE editor for the content and the standard Add-on for the promotions/banners.
