[users@httpd] mod_proxy_html issue

I am running Apache/2.0.59 with mod_proxy and mod_proxy_html on
windows 2003.  The issue I am facing is certain types of embedded
links are absolute and the OutputFilter proxy-html is causing more
harm than good.

Below is a snippet of the relevant httpd config info:
#######################################################
ProxyPass /testapp/ http://internalserverA.com/testapp/
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://internalserverA.com/ /testapp

<Location /testapp/>
 ProxyPassReverse /
 SetOutputFilter proxy-html
 ProxyHTMLURLMap / /testapp/
 ProxyHTMLURLMap /testapp /testapp
 ProxyHTMLLogVerbose On
</Location>
########################################################

These type of links are fixed!  Excellent!
<a href="/logo.jpg">
<a href="http://internal1.example.com/logo.jpg">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This link is still a problem.
<a href="/images/logo.jpg">

The OutputFilter rewrites the link to <a href="/testapp/images/logo.jpg">
This breaks everytime.  Does anyone have a solution for this type of
absolute link?

I know the app developers should recode but I donot have much choice
at the moment.

Any help is great appreciated

Nick,  Thanks for a solution.  Just trying to understand the logic
behind the filter is half the battle.

Here is what I did to resolve the issue:
############################################################
ProxyPass /testapp/ http://internalserverA.com/testapp/
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://internalserverA.com/ /testapp

ProxyPass /images/ http://internalserverA.com/images/
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://internalserverA.com/ /images

<Location /testapp/>
ProxyPassReverse /
SetOutputFilter proxy-html
ProxyHTMLURLMap / /testapp/
ProxyHTMLURLMap /testapp /testapp
ProxyHTMLURLMap /images /images
ProxyHTMLLogVerbose On
</Location>

<Location /images/>
ProxyPassReverse /
SetOutputFilter proxy-html
ProxyHTMLURLMap / /images/
ProxyHTMLURLMap /images /images
ProxyHTMLLogVerbose On
</Location>

##############################################################

So add a URLMap to rewrite /images to whatever you want it to become.
