Proxy URL without authentication

Question

I have an Apache web server with basic authentication enabled at the root directory. I can't change this due to business restrictions.

However, we want a particular URL to be a proxy to a different site, with different authentication, without being asked for authentication by the main site.

Example: My site is http://foo.com/
If you go to http://foo.com/ in a browser, you are presented with a typical authentication popup.

If I add this:

ProxyPass /bar/ http://bar.com/

then I go to http://foo.com/bar/ , I am presented with an authentication popup for bar.com followed by an authentication popup for foo.com

How can I do this sort of proxy and "ignore" the authentication from the original site?

Resolved by taking a different approach to the original problem. No need for answers. Thanks.
