mod_rewrite does not proxy included requests

           Summary: mod_rewrite does not proxy included requests

           Version: 1.3.27
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other

This is a duplicate of PR2074, PR5338, PR6804 and possibly others I couldn't 
find in bugzilla.

Basically the problem is, if you have:

ProxyPass /foo http://newserver/foo
ProxyPassReverse /foo http://newserver/foo

Then an SSI of:

<!--#include virtual="/foo/bar"-->

_will_ be proxied. If instead of ProxyPass you use:

RewriteRule /foo(.*) http://newserver/foo$1 [P]

then the above SSI is _not proxied_. This is because of:

        /*
         *  Ignore this rule on subrequests if we are explicitly
         *  asked to do so or this is a proxy-throughput or a
         *  forced redirect rule.
         */
        if (r->main != NULL &&
            (p->flags & RULEFLAG_IGNOREONSUBREQ ||
             p->flags & RULEFLAG_PROXY          || 
             p->flags & RULEFLAG_FORCEREDIRECT    )) {
            continue;
        }

in mod_rewrite. If you comment out the RULEFLAG_PROXY, it works as expected. 
I'm not sure of the consequences this has. Can anyone comment on the reasoning 
behind this? 

I believe this also applies to httpd-2.0, but I haven't actually compiled it 
yet.
