Proxy fixup seems to do the job of making sure the URL "/%41%42%43" 
matches "ProxyPass /ABC http://xxx/ABC", so I don't think it should be 
removed altogether.

The URL that is sent to the backend server however has no business being 
touched at all en route - a copy of the untouched URL should be kept 
alongside the canonicalised URL, and the untouched URL should be sent to 
the backend server just as the client sent it.

Regards,
Graham
