Details:
When setting a hostname for a group type using the wrong case, certain
actions result in an infinite redirection loop.
For example: if the real name of a host is myhost.com and you set MyHost.com
as a base host, then any request to http://myhost.com/... is automatically
redirected to http://MyHost.com/, because $HTTP_HOST and
$project->GetTypeBaseHost() are not the same.
Chances are however that browser or server will return a $HTTP_HOST
of myhost.com also for this new request, leading into an infinite loop of
redirections. (FireFox signals a 'redirection limit exceeded' and bails
out.)
Suggested correction: use a case independent compare between $HTTP_HOST and
$project->GetTypeBaseHost() when checking whether a redirection is needed.
This problem occurs in at least two different .php-files, so maybe the common
code should be factored out?
