            Bug ID: 61010
           Summary: ProxyPreserveHost Not working as documented
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.4.6
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_proxy
          Assignee: bugs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: g...@misura.org
  Target Milestone: ---

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypreservehost

Says:

When enabled, this option will pass the Host: line from the incoming request to
the proxied host, instead of the hostname specified in the ProxyPass line.

However, when I setup a ProxyPass:

  <Location /en_US>
    ProxyPass "http://othersite.com";
  </Location>

The othersite.com was receiving mysite.com as the HOST header.
Adding ProxyPreserveHost Off or ProxyPreserveHost On made no difference.
When I changed the config to

  <Location /en_US>
    RequestHeader set Host othersite.com
    ProxyPass "http://othersite.com";
  </Location>

It worked perfectly.
Seems like a bug. Am I misunderstanding?

I'll try a newer version to see if that makes any difference.
