Run chef server on different URL

Do you know how to run chef server so a client can access it using e.g.
http://mychefserver:4000/chef-server-api ?

I need it because I have frontend apache proxy that is used by many
different clients including chef-client.

I have configured the proxy to to forward requests
https://myproxy/chef-server-api to http://mychefserver:4000/
but it does not work as the mixlib-authentication library used by
chef-client use URI PATH for creating signature
and because the leading part of the URI PATH for the original request
was cut off by the proxy, the chef-server receives different
URI PATH, calculate a non matched signature and authentication of the
request fails.

I think that It should be possible via some merb route configuration but
do’nt know how do do

I'd try using this configuration by Miguel Cabeç and Jonathan Matthews
as a starting point:
