Comment:

 I suggest resolve this bug as won't fix. When PHP is run on IIS 5.1 and
 IIS 6.0 with FastCGI (which is the recommended way to run PHP on IIS),
 then the REQUEST_URI will be set correctly. When PHP is run on IIS 7 with
 FastCGI and there is a URL Rewrite Module installed then the REQUEST_URI
 will be set correctly as well. So the only cases when it will not be set
 are: 1. When PHP is run as ISAPI - this is not recommended way of running
 PHP and it should be discouraged 2. When PHP is run on IIS 7 with FastCGI
 but there is no FastCGI patch applied. This will be extremely rare case as
 the main reason REQUEST_URI is used is to support pretty permalinks. Those
 require IIS 7 URL rewrite module installed. When that module is installed
 it also installs the FastCGI patch for REQUEST_URI.
