Comment:

 Hi, this patch is useful for running buddypress behind a reverse proxy,
 eg. have nginx frontend and apache as backend and not for making HTTP
 requests using a proxy.

 For example you can have a setup where buddypress runs on apache with
 localhost as hostname and then you have a filter on wordpress's site_url
 which turns all your http://localhost/members/foo/ to
 http://example.com/members/foo/ and you proxy that through nginx, on
 hostname example.com.

 So user enters in his browser http://example.com/members/foo/, but the
 request hits the apache backend with http://localhost/members/foo/ which
 will issue a redirect to http://example.com/members/foo/ and you end up
 with a loop.

 This patch allows you to rewrite the actual requested URL in such cases.
