One of my problems with the patch on #3414 is that it doesn't really give any authority as to *why* that solution is the right answer, as opposed to "it works in my case when I do this". Why is REQUEST_URL a valid fallback? Is this a special thing that is set by a particular web server? Without reference to documentation (or at least a particular product, if we are putting in a product-specific workaround), a patch isn't likely to go in because it just be mysterious black magic for future maintainers. Every time I look at that ticket, I remember that it's going to be work to try and work out what's really going on and why. So if you want the patch to go in, you could do the leg work and work out why those changes are the right ones (attach the results to the ticket). > > There doesn't seem to be a problem with FastCGI on my iBook nor on my > FreeBSD production machine; however, for some reason that I'm not > bright enough to understand, there is a problem with the simple > included server in conjunction with a server such as nginx, and > possibly others.

In the latter case, well, there's a ticket already open for it.
