Comment:

 In [changeset:"41140"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="41140"
 REST API: Always add `index.php` to the REST URL when pretty permalinks
 are disabled.

 When pretty permalinks are disabled, the web server will internally
 forward requests to `index.php`. Unfortunately, nginx only forwards
 HTTP/1.0 methods: `PUT`, `PATCH`, and `DELETE` methods will return a 405
 error.

 To work around this nginx behaviour, including `index.php` in the REST URL
 skips the internal redirect.

 Merges 41139 to the 4.8 branch.
 Fixes #40886.
