First: Is this message one that the browser generates or is it an
application message? (E.g. does IE tell you, it cannot process some XML
or does your application do so?). For this reason I almost always
suggest to unselect "short html error messages" (or similar) in IEs
settings - this lets you view the original server error messages that
might be more helpful than IEs standard ones.

The next best might be to look for the smallest possible testcase to
reproduce it and sniff network traffic, both with and without the
OpenSTA proxy. Then compare them - compare what is sent to the server in
either case as well as what is sent from server to client.

The proxy usually rewrites https:// URLs to http://{ itself, but there
are several known limitations when it can't do so - e.g. if urls are
dynamically constructed using javascript, Java, Flash etc. This will
most likely mess up with your content... (as far as I remember this is
also handled in the RecordingHttps-FAQ)

Hope this helps,
Olaf
