I maintain a set of patches for 1.3.2x mod_proxy that provide header
setting directives. They're mostly used in a reverse proxy context: so
ProxyRequestHeader sets headers in the request going to the backend
server(s), and ProxyResponseHeader sets headers in documents served to
clients.

Many sites have been using these patched mod_proxies in production
for two years or so (since 1.3.19).
