[OT] Anyone noticing weirdness with MSIE 6.0 and HTTPS requests?

Not OpenSRS related at all, I'm sorry, but I thought this might be a
good forum to ask some people with well trafficked sites.

We are noticing that maybe 1 out of 20 HTTPS requests from our clients
using MSIE 6.0 are failing. Further digging seems to suggest that the
data that should be POSTed with the request isn't (i.e. content-length:
0). Because of this, our scripts redirect them to another page. Then,
the request for *that* page includes the POST data (i.e. the browser
sends the data with the second request, not the first). You may see
this on your end as empty POST requests to your system.

It only seems to happen on MSIE 6.0 with the latest security patch from
MS, and only on SSL requests. Just wondering if we're alone out here
on this.
