With Apache 1.3.26 performing apache_lookup_uri("http://nikmakepeace.com/index.php") returns a class like this:

stdClass Object
(
    [status] => 200
    [the_request] => GET /apache.php HTTP/1.1
    [method] => GET
    [uri] => /http://nikmakepeace.com/index.php
    [filename] => /home/nik/html/test/http:

    [path_info] => //nikmakepeace.com/index.php
    [no_cache] => 0
    [no_local_copy] => 1
    [allowed] => 0
    [sent_bodyct] => 0
    [bytes_sent] => 0
    [byterange] => 0
    [clength] => 0
    [unparsed_uri] => /http://nikmakepeace.com/index.php
    [request_time] => 1051788489
)

The uri is not a uri, nor the filename a filename. The content-length it not 0 etc etc. If this is an Apache bug, can you mention something in the documentation about it?
