[Test Case]

Setup
Apache 2.4.7
* mod_rewrite
* mod_ajp
* mod_dir

Tomcat
* Listening on Port 9001

Apache with a .htaccess in the example.net VirtualHost

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ajp://localhost:9001/$1 [P]

Expected:
Return from Tomcat

  HTTP Status 404 - /

Reality:
Return from Tomcat

  HTTP Status 404 - /index.html

Workaround for this particular setup was to either disable mod_dir or disable DirectoryIndex in .htaccess.

Or on VirtualHost context use ProxyPass.

  ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:9001/
  ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:9001/

[Impact]

With DirectoryIndex disabled:

[Regression Potential]

As stated on the apache bugtracker https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53929#c10:

"The behavior now seems to be consistent with 2.2, and a rewrite rule that conflicts with a DirectoryIndex gets applied."
