Correct. Just a GET. It does not happen for all SSL tests; so far, it
seems to only affect those which are for a directory that doesn't permit
directory listings (403 Access Denied response). It specifically doesn't
exhibit the problem behavior in the following scenarios:
 o Copying the exact contents of the access denied response into
   a .htm file (including the Unix line ending) and requesting that
   via SSL
 o Requesting the same (access denied) url from the non-ssl port
   of the same server

7.9.3 works fine.

This would seem to be the safest behavior, but as one of my other tests
above seems to indicate, this isn't the problem.

OK.

No, however I managed to find one that you can try:

This one works fine:
  $ curl http://www.microsoft.com/MAC/download/OFFICE98/

This one doesn't:
  $ curl https://www.microsoft.com/MAC/download/OFFICE98/
