Comment (by tploch):

 Erm, how is this a server configuration issue if you are not even checking
 for X-Forwarded-For and X-Forwarded-Host headers? I tried setting the Host
 header via the 'ProxyPreserveHost On' directive, but that broke the whole
 app. Relying on REQUEST_URI is bad practice and should be avoided in the
 first place. And telling me to spoof REQUEST_URI in wp-config.php is
 surely not the right way to solve this.

 If you have a user specifying the root url himself, why not use this base
 url? I don't really understand why you say it's a server issue while this
 is clearly a bad handling on apllication level...
