Title: Patch to make secure pages work

As noted on the home page of the Secure Pages Module:

http://drupal.org/project/securepages

These two patches are needed for Secure Pages to be committed.

The discussion of both of these patches implies that the reason that this has not made it into d7 is because d8 also has the same issue and the test case is incomplete. and pushing this into d7 without first dealing with the d8 issue is against the drupal policy regarding backports and a disagreement of if this an actual bug in d7 or merely a missing piece of core functionality.
