proxypass

I have some rules like

<Location /xyz>
    ProxyPass http://example.com/abc
    ...
</Location>

I want to accept requests to http://mypage.lan/xyz/123 and deliver the data of http://example.com/abc/123. I need to accept POST request, but I don't want to send the body content to example.com. I would like to send a GET request, but a POST request with Content-Length: 0 would be fine, too.

Is it possible, to configure Apache 2 not to promote the request body?
