mod_proxy_html will try to rewrite all the urls that it finds. The
problem is that urls can be very hard to find. Worst case scenario is
that the urls are built in javascript, then it is impossible. I
usually give up proxying if I find out that I would have to use
mod_proxy_html...

I am actually not using mod_proxy myself. I use mod_rewrite's proxy
functionality instead. You might want to try that, since it is simpler
to setup than mod_proxy. I have the following in my apache conf:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/mythweb/(.*) http://rob.holmlund.se/mythweb/$1 [P]

This works for me with mythweb 0.20.
