 In some files like wp-admin/includes/class-wp-list-table.php (there are
 more files I think), some links are created by using the HTTP_HOST
 variable.

 It's better to use the defined wordpress URL to create those links.

 In our case, we have a wordpress running behind a Squid cache. When you
 check for HTTP_HOST you get the *real* HOST and not the one with the Squid
 server.

 To bypass the problem, I added in the main config.php a line like this :

 {{{
 $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = 'www.my-visible-http-host.com';
 }}}

 Without this setting and in our case, some links in the admin (next,
 previous page, re-ordering...) where pointing to the wrong server.
