Running java based video (webcam) through apache

I have an apache 2.0.52 webserver running my website and I have an
internet webcam connected to my LAN, accessible via login session from
the internet on port 85.

Some hosts do not allow port 85, so I want to run the webcam on port 80
which is controlled by Apache. The webcam works at port 80 and 85, but
my router points all port 80 traffic to apache and all port 85 traffic
to the webcam. I have therefore added a proxy in httpd.conf:

#start extra lines to run webcam on 192.168.1.20 through port 80

ProxyPass /webcam/ http://192.168.1.20/
ProxyPassReverse /webcam/ http://192.168.1.20/

#end extra lines to run webcam on 192.168.1.20 through port 80

The client on the internet can communicate with the webcam through
apache, the traffic is working, until the java based video itself is
transmitted; the java symbol starts in client window, but dies. This has
been confirmed on several internet clients.

What is missing?

THX for any hints!

Thanks Davide for the reply!

It works great though if I use the port 85 (not via apache) via my
router to the webcam internal IP address. Doesn't this mean that it
looks as if apache itself has some limitations/restrictions?
