You could easily image that the URL above is not valid. I had to  get 

http:/www.example.com/site/link

instead.

Anyway, I have solved adding a further mod_proxy_html directive:

ProxyHTMLURLMap  http://www.example.com/site/ /

Nobody has asserted this. I only argued that mod_proxy_html didn't
replace the URL correctly. But in effect I wrong, because another
setting is needed only.
