 New Comment:

Making this a feature request to document and categorize every possible
predefined / reserved variable.  A fun task indeed :)

A few things to keep in mind:

- When the variable is or isn't available (like HTTP_HOST, 
  HTTP_REFERER, HTTPS, PHP_SELF, HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA ...)
- Keep in mind web servers, operating systems, modes 
  (cgi, module, cli), and related settings/requirements.
- Which ones are commonly available.
- See also related sources, like HTTP spec.
  
The creative question of the day is how to display and categorize all
this information in a friendly manner.

Well, it's actually a "Won't fix" then a bogus.

There are lots of other variables that get set, such as REDIRECT, when
using mod_redirect, but this is server-dependent, whereas the variables
stated in the manual-pages are ones, that you can (almost) surely
expect on a normal server-installation.

I'm not sure what security information you are referring to.

As for reliable, it's reliably been working for me for at least the
past 3 releases.

Should additional security information be mentioned within this
description?  Like, is this 100% reliable?

The _$SERVER['HTTPS'] (& $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTPS'] too) variable is
not documented in http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php. 
The variable is only defined if the PHP script is viewed under https:
and has a value of 'on'.
