14913,MS Requires Client Information to Load Files,filosofo,filosofo,"When installed as multi-site, WP in `ms-settings.php` tries to parse the Host header request to determine which domain is requested.  If none, it prints a redirecting Location header and exits.

This is problematic if you are loading WP but not using a client that sends headers to the server; for example, if you have another app on the same server that tries to include `wp-load.php` directly.

Example:

{{{
<?php

include '/path/to/wp/wp-load.php';

// let's do some stuff with WP programatically...
}}}

The above aborts in MS as it tries to redirect the nonexistent requesting client to the main blog's front page.

The problems I see with this:
 * `wp-load.php` is supposed to provide a means of circumventing the template printing, so it shouldn't assume a typical browser client is making the request
 * `wp-load.php` ''can'' be used this way on non-MS setups
 * In general, it's a bad jumble of MVC.

Currently I'm not sure what the best route is to fix this, but I will try to come back later with a solution.",defect (bug),new,normal,Future Release,Multisite,3.1,normal,,has-patch,
