If your proxy runs httpd 2.x with modperl 2.x then yes, it can manipulate 
both the request stream from the client to the backend and the response 
stream from the backend to the client.

The former is done by a PerlInputFilterHandler the latter by a 
PerlOutputFilterHandler. Those are up to you to conceive.
