You also hijack other people's threads. No-no, Tedd! *slaps hand*

Not every server configuration has separate directories for secure
and non-secure differentiation. For example, log into your php1.net
account on my server.

I would still at least use the port 80/443 example that I provided
as a backup for portability.
Also, keep in mind that all $_SERVER Superglobals were only
introduced in 4.1.0. Any scripts written before that (and any old
versions of PHP) should be using $HTTP_SERVER_VARS.

That depends solely on the server configuration. Check with your sysop.
