I don't think that's right.  Both proxy_detect and proxy_trans happen
before proxy_fixup, and the comment in proxy_fixup refers to its
relationship with mod_rewrite.

The patched apache fails that test, but simply reinstating proxy_fixup
makes no difference to that.  Now I'm confused.

I think you're right in your other post: separate patches for separate
bugs.  And not necessarily at 4 a.m. ....

But having come this far, I want to see both fixed:-)  And a trawl of
bugzilla tells me that the URI Lossage is bug #15207 and probably others,
while bug #16812 is a trivial corollary to the cookie patch.
