mod proxy + mod xml2enc + wamp, not loading JS correctly?

So I'm running Server 2008, with wamp 2.0, apache 2.2.14, with mod_proxy and mod_xml2enc both installed. The webserver starts up fine.

I'm using a reverse proxy to pull in a couple other small webapps from another LAN server. One of the apps is the built-in content server of Calibre (an e-book mgmt app). This works just fine. I can go to mydomain.com/calibre/ and it pulls everything in fine, while keeping the masked URL.

The other app I'm proxying to is the webUI of uTorrent. It will redirect/rewrite properly, however the page doesn't display correctly, having unfinished formatting and a hung up internal activity indicator animation.

I'm assuming this has something to do with the fact that the uTorrent webapp appears to be heavily JS/XML based. However to my understanding, mod_xml2enc should take care of that. It's easily possible that I don't have it installed quite right, but apache does start up with mod_xml2enc enabled, with no complaints. Yes, I have the necessary prereq windows libraries installed, namely, libxml2.dll, which also relies on zlib1.dll and iconv.dll, to my knowledge. It's also possible that I have incompatible versions of these files, as they are scattered all over the internet like treasures of old, with documentation to match.

Here's the applicable modules being loaded in httpd.conf:

---------------------------------------------------------

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so
LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
LoadModule proxy_html_module modules/mod_proxy_html.so
LoadFile bin/zlib1.dll
LoadFile bin/iconv.dll
LoadFile bin/libxml2.dll
LoadModule xml2enc_module modules/mod_xml2enc.so

-------------------------------------------------

And here is the proxy config:

-------------------------------------------------

# Configuration example.
#
# First, to load the module with its prerequisites. Note: mod_xml2enc
# is not always necessary, but without it mod_proxy_html is likely to
# mangle pages in encodings other than ASCII or Unicode (utf-8).
#
# For Unix-family systems:
# LoadFile/usr/lib/libxml2.so
# LoadModuleproxy_html_modulemodules/mod_proxy_html.so
# LoadModulexml2enc_modulemodules/mod_xml2enc.so
# 
# All knowledge of HTML links has been removed from the mod_proxy_html
# code itself, and is instead read from httpd.conf (or included file)
# at server startup. So you MUST declare it. This will normally be
# at top level, but can also be used in a <Location>.
#
# Here's the declaration for W3C HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0

###########
#
# To define the URL /my-gateway/ as a gateway to an appserver with address
# http://some.app.intranet/ on a private network, after loading the

# ProxyRequests Off <-- this is an important security setting

#ProxyPassReverse /

ProxyPassReverse /personal/ut/ http://10.0.10.5:8082/gui/

----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm also not entirely sure I'm not missing some vital configuration option.

Now here are the errors I get when trying to load uT:

-----------------------------------------------------

[Sat Jan 16 17:39:03 2010] [error] [client 10.0.10.1] File does not exist: D:/apps/wamp/www/mydomain.com.80/gui, referer: http://www.mydomain.com/personal/ut/
[Sat Jan 16 17:39:36 2010] [error] [client 10.0.10.1] File does not exist: D:/apps/wamp/www/mydomain.com.80/gui, referer: http://www.mydomain.com/personal/ut/

-----------------------------------------------------

For some reason it tries to look in my webserver's document root for "/gui", instead of looking straight to the uT server for "/gui/". However this doesn't seem to be an issue as I AM actually being forwarded to the right server, even if it doesn't load the page right.

Any obvious flaws, or other ideas out there? Thanks,
