Hmm... if you're loading these modules dynamically, do you have all  
the necessary LoadModule directives in your config?
It should look something like so:

LoadModule proxy_module       modules/libproxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module  modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule rewrite_module     modules/mod_rewrite.so

The path might differ in some installs -- check the "modules" (or  
maybe "libexec") folder in the apache install to confirm.  Some  
setups may also group the modules into "available" and "enabled"  
folders -- if so, then check to see that the modules you need are in  
the "enabled" folder.

Where did you find these lines?

Note, mod_proxy_connect is mainly used to tunnel SSL requests through  
a proxy -- I don't think this applies in your usecase.
