I don't use aldiko, but the configuration below works with FBReader and Calibre Companion.

It is slightly edited to remove personal information. It uses a port (9191) rather than a named virtual host. The port calibre is listening on (9192) is blocked. It uses digest authentication to avoid passing clear-text passwords around, which you should also use unless you intend to use SSL or aldiko doesn't support it.

Code:

<VirtualHost *:9191>
        <Location "/">
                AuthType Digest
                AuthName "******************"
                AuthDigestDomain /
                AuthDigestProvider file
                AuthUserFile *****/library_digest_pw.txt
                Require valid-user
        </Location>
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteRule ^(.*) http://127.0.0.1:9192/$1 [proxy]
        SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
        SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
</VirtualHost>

BTW: why are you using the root page with aldiko? Shouldn't you be using http://calibre.../opds ? There is no javascript in the opds version, and I would be surprised if aldiko knows how to deal with it.
