Mediawiki should use the HTTP_HOST instead of SERVER_NAME, if the first one is set.
Problem: Using a tcp-forward HTTP-redirect do not work because the server name
included in the Location header is set based on the local settings of the
webserver. However, the name of the reversed proxy should be used. This one is
provided in the HTTP-"Host:"-header, if HTTP 1.1 is used.

You can already manually set $wgServer to anything you like.
Note that using HTTP_HOST indiscriminately may not be the best idea; a server not configured for strict name-based virtual hosts
will accept anything in that header, so the resulting URL could go to an arbitrary site. If it's not validated, it may even open up
various injection attacks. It's also bad for caching since the result may differ as various clients connect to the server with different
hostnames. $wgServer is supposed to be a consistent, canonical form.
Marking as a duplicate of bug 61, for detecting more sensible default values of $wgServer.
