anybody ever heard of a ProxyPassCookie patch

[Jeff Trawick <tr...@attglobal.net>]

and why it was never integrated into Apache 1.3?

It is described here:

http://www.wede.de/sw/mod_proxy/

There is also such a patch in the old bug db and at least one other open 
PR about the need for such a feature (updating domains in cookies during 
reverse proxy operations).

I didn't see any comments in the PRs about technical problems with such 
a feature, but I'm curious if anybody knows of some.

Such a feature would need to be configurable, as the change to the path
in the cookie might not necessarily be what the person intended.

For example:

ProxyPass /foo http://backend/

would cause the cookie backend path "/" to be changed to "/foo". The
user may want the cookie path to stay "/".
