mod_cluster/mod_proxy redirects user to JBoss backend server ip when trailing slash is missing

Issue

I'm routing requests from an Apache httpd server on the front end to the http connectors on my JBoss backend via mod_cluster. When accessing localhost/test (with the trailing / missing, instead of localhost/test/) from the Apache front end, the user is redirected to the JBoss address (host:8080) instead of just being proxied to it.
I'm using mod_proxy like so to proxy to another remote server:
```
ProxyPass / http://backendip:80/
```
But when I type in url http://frontenddomain.com/foo, the response comes back as http://backendip/foo/
