That's the request from IE.  Shows how broken the request is.

IE makes a http request to /login and Apache returns a 302:
192.168.1.32 - - [21/Jun/2006:19:30:07 -0700] "GET /login HTTP/1.1" 302 - "http://bumby:82/" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; T312461)"

IE then makes the https request and fetches /login:
192.168.1.32 - - [21/Jun/2006:19:30:18 -0700] "GET /login HTTP/1.1" 200 2373 "http://bumby:82/" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; T312461)"

Next, IE should make requests for the images, css and javascript, but
instead These are the requests from IE.  Right, no verb.  Just not a
correct request at all.

There's nothing unusual about it.  Validates xhtml strict, and a
reload in IE then brings in all the correct files.

Weird.
