For a forward proxy, that's right. For a reverse proxy, no. Of course ProxyPass and family modify URLs. Faré: do you have a testcase that demonstrates this? I'll be committing my fix to bug 10722 soon, and if I'm satisfied with your patch I could probably roll it in together. A testcase will help there:-) -- Nick Kew
