Documentation for request_uri() incorrectly says that only Apache provides $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] [#1547294]

The PHPDoc for request_uri() says:

Because $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] is only available on Apache, we generate an equivalent using other environment variables.

This is incorrect as IIS7 sets $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], and I'm guessing so do some other modern web servers. We need to research the current state of popular web servers and update this documentation accordingly.

This issue appears to be obsolete. The request_uri() function does not appear in D8; the closest equivalent is in \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\ApacheRequest::prepareRequestUri().

You are absolutely right, this method is not in Drupal itself anymore. Especially
\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request::prepareRequestUri has quite some edge cases shown, so I think its fine to close this issue.
