What kind of content? One PDF, one file or one whole domain 
(portal.university.edu)?

I assume you are looking for the latter.

[proxies] won't do what you are looking for. They are for content hosted 
externally but made accessible by a link on the packetfence server.

As the example in pf.conf.defaults states:
[proxies]
tools/stinger.exe=http://download.nai.com/products/mcafee-avert/stng260.exe

Will have the effect that hitting the captive portal for 
https://<packetfence-server>/proxies/tools/stinger.exe will actually 
fetch the file from 
http://download.nai.com/products/mcafee-avert/stng260.exe

Instead, try playing with passthrough=proxy under [trapping] and then 
adding stuff into [passthroughs] but I think the statements used by 
apache are no longer valid for Apache 2.2 so a little bit of googling 
and changing apache statements might be in order...

Cheers!
