JavaScript is not being passed through proxy

I don't seem to understand something about proxying and JavaScript. I have searched several posts, but I am none the wiser...

I have a CentOS (6.4) server that functions as a proxy for another server (ARMv7). Both run Apache; the first one is version 2.2.15, the second one is version 2.2.22.

The proxy config on the first server is as follows:

ProxyPass /PV/    http://192.168.0.30/electricity/

When calling http://mysite.bla.xxx/PV/, I do get (part of) the index.html file served that is on the second server. However, the index.html file starts with this:

<html>
  <head>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascript/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  ......

And here's where it goes wrong... When I examine the error-log on the proxyserver, I see:

File does not exist: /var/www/html/javascript, referer: http://mysite.bla.xxx/PV/

And of course, this file/directory does not exist.

I'm guessing that the second <script> tag is the culprit, because it wants to find something at /javascript locally on the first server that doesn't exist.

Am I right? If so, how can I get Apache on the proxying server to serve the scripts included in index.html on the second server?

Drop the first slash from the js's URL.

Not <script src="/javascript/jquery/jquery.js">

but <script src="javascript/jquery/jquery.js">

Paths beginning with a slash will be assumed to reside in root. Thus your link points to http://mysite.bla.xxx/javascript/jquery/jquery.js
