Yes, I know.

For this test I am just using a RabbIT 2.0.32-pre4 as proxy. Lets say IE6
is trying to fetch:

https://digitalid.verisign.com/

When IE6 is attempting to load this, I see in RabbIT2 logs:

X.X.X.X - - 22/May/2004:22:16:02 GMT "CONNECT digitalid.verisign.com:443
HTTP/1.0" 200 - 

but instead of delivering the page, IE6 just displays:

---

The page cannot be displayed 
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might
be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your
browser settings. 

... blah blah...

Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer

---

In my config there is:

allowSSL=443,444,445

Since you mentioned "my setup", I tested HTTPS with and without a back-end
proxy (proxyhost, proxyport). It seems that the problem appears only when
RabbIT2 is configured to use another proxy . I verified that if RabbIT2
is standalone HTTPS is working properly.
