Actually, writing my last mail gave me an idea : I scratched the ProxyPass directive altogether, and added a 'dummy' Rewrite for the correctly-written URLs. Therefore my conf now looks like this :
RewriteRule ^/newsite/(.*) http://internal.address.com/newsite/$1 [P,L] RewriteRule ^/html/(.*) http://internal.address.com/newsite/html/$1 [P,L] ... #no more ProxyPass ProxyPassReverse / http://internal.address.com/ This takes care of my problem. However, the bad URLs (http://external.address.com/html/...), although correctly redirected, aren't updated in the browser address bar (I'd like them to become http://external.address.com/newsite/html/...). Any idea how I could correct that ?
