The backend server redirected you to add a trailing slash. The proxy
is supposed to strip off the /html/directory due to ProxypassReverse
before the redirect goes out, but it doesn't happen.

 

Look the directive "UseCanonicalName" in the doc of apache:

"An example where this may be useful is on an intranet server where you have users connecting to the machine using short names such as www. You'll notice that if the users type a shortname, and a URL which is a directory, such as http://www/splat, without the trailing slash then Apache will redirect them tohttp://www.domain.com/splat/. .... But if UseCanonicalName is set Off, then Apache will redirect to http://www/splat/."

So, when the url /test is called, it's redirected with trailing slash, but not working with ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse.

How do I fix it?

Thanks!
