lighttpd reverse proxy to apache

I have just started using lighttpd and I am trying to configure it to act as a reverse proxy to an Apache server running on 127.0.0.1 on port 8080. I have multiple wordpress blogs running on the same host

127.0.0.1:8080/blog1
127.0.0.1:8080/blog2

I have just bought a domain name www.mydomain.com and I would like to requests to blog1 to appear like this

www.mydomain.com/article1 even though on my server this translates to 127.0.0.1:8080/blog1/article1

What I am after is an example of lighttpd.conf configuration that will redirect requests from www.mydomain.com that arrive on port 80 to be redirected to 127.0.0.1:8080/blog1.

Can anyone help me?

Update: lighttpd 1.4.46 (released in 2017) has proxy.header which allows limited rewriting of the url prefix when proxying. See lighttpd mod_proxy
