Comment-Added:

After additional user input the problem appears to be
a bug in mod_proxy (?).

A directive like

  ProxyPass /path/foobar  http://somewhere/anything

does not work, when '/path/' is a path that exists
on the local (proxy) server (eg. an existing directory).
The local server tries to handle the requests locally
and ignores the ProxyPass directive.

If '/path/' does not exist on the server, the request
is correctly forwarded as specified in the ProxyPass
directive.

Possible workarounds:

  - use only path arguments with ProxyPass that are not
    existing on the local server
  - use mod_rewrite


Synopsis-Changed-From: mod-proxy runs like a redirect directive in a particular 
situation
Synopsis-Changed-To: ProxyPass is not handled if the local path is an existing 
path/directory
