Have a look at proxy_hook_fixups() in mod_proxy.h.
I just tried proxy_hook_fixups and it runs even before the proxy gets the content from the backend which is not what I need, I also tried the other hook proxy_hook_request_status and this one runs after the content has been sent to the client which means changing the headers in it will have no effect. I found proxy_hook_post_request which fits nicely to where I need to change the headers but it is only executed when the backend sends an error so that won't work as well. Did I miss something here?
