24460	Update documentation to explain why `HttpRequest.build_absolute_uri` doesn't have a scheme option	Rik	Rik	"Earlier I created #24459, where I wanted to add an option to `HttpRequest.build_absolute_uri` to be able to create a https URI on a http page, but we came to the conclusion this is the wrong solution to the problem, so I would like to add the explanation for this to the documentation.

I was thinking of a ""Note"" box with a text like:

""Django discourages mixing HTTP and HTTPS on the same domain. Therefore, `build_absolute_uri` will always generate an absolute URI with the same scheme the current request has."""	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	dev	Normal	fixed	build_absolute_uri		Accepted	1	0	0	1	1	0
