You could try

   $ScriptUrl = '/wiki/pmwiki.php';
   $PubDirUrl = '/wiki/pub';

so that the browsers auto-complete the protocol and host name part of 
the URL (I think they should).

That way, you are not sold to the https vs. http decision.

Not needed if URLs like the above are used.

SSLRequireSSL will generate just a nasty error message in case of people 
accessing the page without SSL. A redirect (preferably permanent) would 
be more appropriate.
Probably easiest using mod_rewrite, since it can redirect visitors 
directly to the SSL version of the page.
