Comment (by mampf):

 Hello John,

 I think it just can't. This "proxy" is transparent to apache, like
 apache/nginx is transparent to tomcat. I don't know how the port is set
 correctly in apache. Honestly I don't know why pound is not able to change
 $_SERVER['HTTP'].

 A long-term solution would be to mark this function as deprecated and only
 set the server-relative path (//host/path) everywhere, omnitting the
 protocol (http: or https:). The downside: You'd need to change every
 image-link in the database.

 I think there might be legitimate situations where a proxy cannot change
 the environment variable. Perhaps a ticket on pound's bug tracker would be
 helpful.
