Bug description:  _SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] does not capture fragment

Description:
------------
When a URI includes a fragment, that fragment is not captured as part of
the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] variable, so it is not possible to use
parse_url() to get the fragment.  As an example,  the following request
will NOT have the fragment in the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] variable:
http://www.freephile.com/admin/test.php?foo=bar#fragment

Instead, the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] is given as
'/admin/test.php?foo=bar'

I use PHP to process outgoing site links on http://www.buzgate.org, but
due to this problem, I cannot redirect to external URIs containing a
fragment.  The workaround is to recode those URIs into two querystring
variables and then reconstruct the URI:
to=http://somewhere.com/somepage.html&fragment=named_anchor

$externalSiteURI = $_REQUEST['to'] . $_REQUEST['fragment'];

Reproduce code:
---------------
See
http://www.freephile.com/admin/test.php?foo=bar#fragment

and 
http://buzgate.org/referral.php?to=http://www.sba.gov/library/pubs.html#success4
(this link may be fixed with a workaround by the time you get this
message)

Expected result:
----------------
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = '/admin/test.php?foo=bar#fragment'

Actual result:
--------------
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = '/admin/test.php?foo=bar'
