Well, this is an obscure bug, so no point keeping this thread going.

They look wrong, although I only have ethereal and it can't decode
the encrypted requests (I think there's away, though.)
I edited Apache's config to create to access.log files, one for each
port.
What happens is I see the request to /login in the non-ssl log and I
see Apache return the 302.
Then I see IE make the request to /login in the ssl log file. This
html page is returned correctly to IE and view source in IE show it
as I'd expect with correct links. . e.g.
https://bumby:1443/style.css
But I see those weird log entries in Apache log for port *82*.

My *guess* is IE is encrypting the the requests (for style.css, etc)
but then sending out the request on the wrong socket.
I wondered about KeepAlives, so I disabled KeepAlives and that didn't fix it.
Oh well, just something to remember when testing on non-standard
ports with IE -- an event that doesn't happen very often, thankfully.
