Description:
------------
I have a very simple program that works perfect if I use 

require_once("gateway.php")

However if I change it to:

require_once("http://localhost/gateway.php")

it does not work.

Yes I have allow_url_includes turned on.

And yes I can see the file being opened by Apache and it is opening all the subordinate includes that are contained within gateway.php.





Reproduce code:
---------------
Test.php

<?php

require_once("http://localhost/gateway.php");

$services = new GatewayServices();

$function = $_REQUEST["method"];

$xml = $services->{$function}($_REQUEST);

?>


Gateway.php File

<?php

class GatewayServices {

	function test($params){
		
		return "<XML Success=Ok/>";
	}
}
?>



Expected result:
----------------
http://localhost/index.php?method=test

Should produce

<XML Success=Ok />



Actual result:
--------------
Class GatewayServices does not exist.

If you change the require_once to:

require_once("gateway.php") it works.

And Yes it needs to be able to work both ways for Load Balancing and failover reasons.
