Do you mean ProxyPassReverse?

The example should have been equivalent to that. The values for proxyreq are:

  PROXYREQ_NONE = 0       # No proxy
  PROXYREQ_PROXY = 1      # Standard proxy
  PROXYREQ_REVERSE = 2    # Reverse proxy
  PROXYREQ_RESPONSE = 3   # Origin response

I believe that PROXYREQ_PROXY is equivalent to ProxyPass and PROXYREQ_REVERSE
as used is equivalent to ProxyPassReverse.

If you need Apache 2.2 equivalent of ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain or
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath then I don't know how to set that up and would
need to look again at Apache source. I don't know what fixups you were
wanting to make to the cookies, but it wasn't something you could just
do with these Apache 2.2 directives is it?
