1. Create a page called 'pathproxy_sitename'
2. Access the page via its friendly url: http://localhost:8080/pathproxy_sitename, see it is working
3. Stop portal
4. Set portal.proxy.path=/pathproxy
5. Set up apache 2.2 virtualhost:

   <VirtualHost *>
   ProxyPreserveHost On
   ProxyPass /pathproxy ajp://localhost:8009
   ProxyPassReverse /pathproxy ajp://localhost:8009
   </VirtualHost>
   

6. Run apache httpd
7. Restart portal
8. Try to access http://localhost/pathproxy/pathproxy_sitename

Expected result: Browser loads test page

Details:

VirtualHostFilter.java

if (Validator.isNotNull(contextPath) &&
	friendlyURL.contains(contextPath)) {

	friendlyURL = friendlyURL.substring(contextPath.length());
}

if friendlyURL is "/company_", and contextPath is "/company" friendlyURL.contains(contextPath) is true
and so the friendlyURL gets shortened to _ which is wrong.
