This is a really weird issue which I don't know where to find the solution.
Doing a POST request I could get the request parameters from "file_get_contents('php://input')". Also the $_SERVER variable is not empty. It contains data. But $_GET is always empty regardless if parameters exist in URL or not. $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] is also empty with GET request method.
I don't know how to solve this. I've tried to access $_GET in strict as well as non-strict mode. Same problem always. Could there be headers missing? This is my request and response below:

Is it possible that you have a rewrite rule (i.e. something similar to mod_rewrite or mod_proxy) that is not populating the GET ?
