Yes, that's an accurate summary.

Yup.  And to be clear: t/modules/proxy.t does not test the operation of
a forward proxy - it tests the operation of a reverse proxy but sets
r->proxyreq to the wrong value, which happened to work before.

If it used r->proxyreq = PROXYREQ_REVERSE it should work again with the
httpd trunk.
