Description:
------------
Function filter_input_array does NOT return from SERVER input variable REQUEST_TIME key => value pair.

Tested on Linux, PHP versions 5.2.8 and 5.3.2.

May be it's undocumented feature or filter implementation failure, because filter functions are using only the original variable values passed to PHP.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(array_diff($_SERVER, filter_input_array(INPUT_SERVER, FILTER_UNSAFE_RAW)));

Expected result:
----------------
array(0)
{
}


Actual result:
--------------
array(1)
{
'REQUEST_TIME' => int(1295636581)
}

REQUEST_TIME doesn't come from the user.  It is added to the $_SERVER array after 
input filtering runs.

Thank you for your prompt response.

From the user doesn't come many other SERVER variables, for example: REDIRECT_STATUS, PATH, DOCUMENT_ROOT, SCRIPT_FILENAME, GATEWAY_INTERFACE, SERVER_PROTOCOL, REQUEST_METHOD, SCRIPT_NAME, PHP_SELF etc.

Should be at least documented.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

Only REQUEST_TIME is missing.
