VIRTUAL_URL only appears in the REQUEST when VirtualHostMonster does its
thing. So if you are not using virtual-hosting, VIRTUAL_URL does not
appear in the request. This is inconvenient; we wanted something
that would always be available and would always mean 
"the URL originally sent by the client".  This is what ACTUAL_URL is.

Having said that, I'm not clear on the difference between 
ACTUAL_URL and URL :-)
