I think I knew that, however as you note below it seem to be having no 
effect.

I agree it looks like the ProxyHTMLURLMap has no effect.

However, in /etc/apache2/mods-available I have proxy_html.conf and  
proxy_html.load so it should be working unless something else needs to 
be done in my configuration to enable it
The proxy_html.conf appears identical to the link you provided, and I am 
not getting any errors when I load apache or when I test the 
configuration, so I think it is being recognized.

Checking the logs I see these errors;

That was one of the many things I tried to see if I could get something 
to happen. I have now changed as suggested.
and the response is still the same.

I don't believe it uses cookies, since if I manually rewrite URL 
everything works as its supposed to, but one the rewriting get working 
check that..
