If I may add, this goes back to my original considerations. Simply changing the URI inbound may not be enough.

 

  • what if the server responds with internal links?

     

  • what if there's more to this URI mapping pattern (data after /web/ or other URI patterns)?

     

As Nitass alludes, you need to take a closer look at the application with some tool, preferably a client side HTTP analysis tool like HTTPWatch, Fiddler, httpfox, etc. This will give you a better idea of what you're dealing with. If you only need to statically remap a handful of incoming/outgoing links, then a STREAM profile may suffice. If the mappings get complex, then you may need to turn to ProxyPass or an 11.4+ rewrite profile.
