DOCTYPE declaration missing with reverse proxy

I noticed that my DOCTYPE declaration is stripped when running a reverse proxy. Does anyone know how I can force the DOCTYPE to stay?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Thanks!

Ooo, might have found a solution:

[apache.webthing.com...]
ProxyHTMLDoctype

Will test it out later on.

Yes, the question might better be asked, "What is stripping my DocType (without authorization) and how do I turn that unwanted DocType stripping off?"

Please let us know how you get on with that test.

Oh, forgot to reply back with my test. Everything worked. Just added this directive to my configuration:
