You want your proxy to talk https with a forward proxy via a remote
CONNECT proxy, right?
Not so common, is your proxy itself a forward proxy which can't
CONNECT backends directly?

If your proxy is a reverse, I don't see why the backend would need an
absolute URL.

Otherwise (hence a real forward proxy use case :), maybe the "type" of
URL could depend on ProxyRequests on/off, since partial URL (off) is
what a backends expect (though they should also handle absolute
URLs..) while interoperability issues (PR 55892) have made httpd now
assume that the origin is a backend (more common) rather than a
forward proxy (on) like previous behaviour (which used to work with
most backends handling full URLs..).

Make it depend on current proxy's ProxyRequests on/off looks sensible.

I don't think it can be achieved with the current mod_proxy
implementation, could you apply/test patch(es) possibly?
