You also have to take into account that $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] does not
contain the schema, the port number, or any path part.

The path part in particular is a problem even if you try to use the various
other $_SERVER variables.

If the very first hit to a site is http://domain.com/a/b/c/d/, which part of
that is site url?
