When would that happen? As stated, REDIRECT_URL will return the  
redirected URL, e.g. rampage.php, but not the requested URL, for  
example /nag/t/save. There's a "simple" test case: install horde on  
apache2+mod_fastcgi or php-fpm, try to create/save a task in nag. It  
will produce an error.

The single commit you referenced does not state any use cases, but it  
would be good to know _what_  would break in this case. I haven't  
noticed anything yet, and I've tested imp, kronolith, nag, ansel  
(including slugs & password), wicked, mnemo, activesync,  
caldav+carddav and gollem (most of them with and without URL  
rewriting) with the change and none of them had a problem.
