[PATCH] fastcgi_params: added REMOTE_HOST parameter

[Jakub Zelenka]

Hi,

I'm a PHP-FPM maintainer and some FPM users have issues with missing host
header when using HTTP/3: https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/13021 .
This is not an nginx issue as correctly noted in
https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/2281 but it would be nice to have
fastcgi_param set for getting host in default config. I was thinking how to
best expose $host and REMOTE_HOST seems logical and so I think it could be
useful addition. I can update FPM to also set REMOTE_HOST from HTTP_HOST if
REMOTE_HOST is not set which would make it even more available for HTTP/1.1
and HTTP/2 users.

Please let me know what you think!

Added REMOTE_HOST parameter to fastcgi_params.

When HTTP/3 is used, users will no longer get HTTP_HOST as host header is no
longer set by most clients. It is useful / necessary for many setups to have
such information and REMOTE_HOST is defined in CGI/1.1 for such purpose.
