Comment (by hakre):

 I've done some testing with this. 'HTTP_PORT' is not set as far as I can
 see on multiple setups and 'HTTP_HOST' conains the port number in case
 it's not the standard port of the protocol.

 So actually HTTP_HOST is to look into.

 Patch introduces a new function called wp_requested_url() which is of
 general use to retrieve the requested URI or URL.

 It does so by dealing with default http(s) ports as well so removing them
 in case they are not needed.

 Additionally, it's possible to to switch the requested URL into a SSL or
 non SSL variant by making use of an optional parameter.

 It might even make sense to make it filter-able so that specific
 server/cache/proxy setups can deal with the requested URL if they need to
 do so.
