MultiLink breaks language switcher links if drupal is running in a subdirectory [#1543876]

Configuration: Running drupal in a subdirectory, e.g. http://server/drupal/
RewriteBase set in .htaccess to /drupal/

Symptoms: After installing MultiLink, the links in a language switcher block are updated from e.g. http://server/drupal/?language=fr to http://server/drupal/?language=fr&multilink=switch. This is as expected. However, when clicking on one of these links, MultiLink hooks into the request and redirects to http://server/?language=fr (instead of http://server/drupal/?language=fr, as expected).

Causes: This seems to be caused by line 434:
$request = '/' . request_path();
If one changes this line to $request = ini_get('RewriteBase'). request_path();, the problem seems to be solved

Thanks for the report. Your solution looks good too. I'll put it into the next release.

See also #1466630: Redirect does not work if Site is running in subdirectory which probably needs something similar.

Issue tags:

+nginx

ini_get('RewriteBase') will only work in apache/.htaccess environments. If this value is not set in .htaccess and/or the server is not Apache you will get a blank string. This will cause node translations to fail.

In an nginx environment I had better luck with: $request = base_path(). request_path();
