Standard Setup code thought

[Dave Smith]

Hi Google Analytics

Could the Standard Setup code (http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/
docs/tracking/gaTrackingOverview.html) be improved if the URI "//
www.google-analytics.com/ga.js" was used instead of testing for https/
http?

The URI is protocol independent, making https/http testing
unnecessary. It would work given that the analytics js file can be
obtained at both of the following URIs:
https://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js
http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js

The code could become:
<script type="text/javascript" src="//www.google-analytics.com/ga.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try{
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxx-x");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>

all the best
Dave
