[users@httpd] ProxyPass appears to be rewriting Location headers

Hello,

We're having a puzzling issue with setting up a reverse proxy.

Running Debian Lenny, apache2-mpm-prefork, 2.2.9-10+lenny9,
libapache2-mod-perl2 2.0.4-5+lenny1

Have this in our configs:

    SSLProxyEngine On
    ProxyPass /proxies/cloudsponge https://api.cloudsponge.com/auth

https://api.cloudsponge.com/auth redirects to
https://api.cloudsponge.com/privacy when requested bare.

We are NOT using ProxyPassReverse, since we DO want redirects to make
it back to the browser intact.

However, when we go to our server's /proxies/cloudsponge it appears
that httpd is catching the redirect, and sending the browser to our
server's /privacy location.

What I expected was that the redirect would be passed through intact,
redirecting the browser to https://api.cloudsponge.com/privacy, since
we're not using ProxyPassReverse.  is there something I'm missing?

TIA,

Pete.

I'm not entirely sure, but you might be missing

   ProxyPass ! /auth
