magento Get Base Url , Skin Url , Media Url , Js Url , Store Url and Current Url for secure

it helps some times I have a form in Magento that is displayed over the insecure URL (http) but I need it to submit to the secure URL (https). , Have you tried this?

Mage::getUrl('',array('_secure'=>true))

Mage::getUrl('customer/account/login',array('_secure'=>true))

Mage::getUrl('module/controller/action',array('_secure'=>true))

hop of those help? It depends on if your theme nameofskin is falling back to default/default theme. If not then just create your own package.

/app/design/frontend/default/nameofskin --> /app/design/frontend/your-package/default
/skin/frontend/default/nameofskin --> /skin/frontend/your-package/default

/app/design/frontend/your-package/second-theme

I hope this helps you . Base URL in description field:
This is Some Link.

To fix the issue you can do Take a look @ http://alanstorm.com/magento_system_configuration_in_depth_tutorial
The base image upload path IS NOT system/filesystem/media, but it’s the value of the Magento System Configuration at system/filesystem/media (which resolves to {{root_dir}}/media in a default Community Edition install).

To fix the issue you can do Your code is correct, just pass the second parameter boolean true with getBaseUrl() method, by default its null, use below code like :

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$storeManager = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface');
echo $baseurl = $storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_WEB); 
echo $secureBaseUrl = $storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_WEB,true);
