title: apache reverse proxy changes url
body: <p>i tried to configure apache's reverse proxy on a server to redirect the requests from /hotm to <a href="http://gateway.messenger.hotmail.com" rel="nofollow">http://gateway.messenger.hotmail.com</a></p>
  
  <p>typing the addres xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/hotm in a browser, the request is redirected correctly, but the url in the address bar changes to "http://gateway.messenger.hotmail.com".</p>
  
  <p>it's possible to configure the proxy on apache so that the address does not change?</p>
  
  <p>[edit]
  this is the httpd.conf fragment</p>
  
  <pre><code>ProxyRequests Off
  ProxyPass /hotm http://gateway.messenger.hotmail.com
  ProxyPassReverse /hotm http://gateway.messenger.hotmail.com
  &lt;Directory /var/www/html/hotm&gt;
   Order Allow,deny
   Allow from all
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  Redirect Permanent /hotm http://gateway.messenger.hotmail.com
  </code></pre>
