I got the answer below from Patrick Michaud, the author of PmWiki.
PmWiki goes ahead and places the full url in $ScriptUrl simply
because it's slightly more robust for certain installations (i.e.,
it reduces the number of things that could go wrong in light of
strange PHP or server configurations). This is especially true
when dealing with the occasional "odd" urls such as wiki searches
and uploads, or when aliasing or url-rewriting is taking place.
However, there's no requirement for the http://... to be there--
a site administrator can set $ScriptUrl to be whatever value is
best for the site. Indeed, this is why the description of $ScriptUrl
appears at the very top of the sample-config.php file -- so that
an admin will know how to customize it for his/her site.
Whenever I've set PmWiki to default $ScriptUrl to not include
the http://, something has always broken on someone's server somewhere.
Thus I prefer to keep the default robust and let others tune it as
appropriate.
so if you'd like I can change $ScriptUrl.
