If you hard-code http, you get http and not https, as you would
expect.

If you use [area href="ord/checkout" secure=1] then the tag will
generate an https URL.  If you have AlwaysSecure set for the page
then the secure=1 is irrelevant; the page URL will always generated
using https.  This works for [area], [page] and other tags that
generate URLs.

Basically, if you hard-code it, you get what you ask for.  Never
hard-code internal URLs when you could be using [area] or [page].
