MSIE uri header param incorrect with https digest proxy authentication?

["Hills, Steve" <St...@Teradata.com>]

This is not the query string problem with IE6 (e.g. the Apache MSIE hack
does not work). 

Apache is configured as a proxy that requires digest authentication.
The uri parameter in question is from the Proxy-Authorization header.

When going to a https url.  MS Internet Explorer sends a uri parameter
("/") that does not match the requests uri.  Firefox sets the uri to the
hostname which works with Apache.

When going to a http url.  Both MSIE and Firefox work, setting the url
parameter to the path/query part of the url.

Apache's error 
Fri Dec 05 15:41:35 2008] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Digest: uri mismatch
- </> does not match request-uri <ahostname:443> 

Does MSIE not support this?  Is there a Apache proxy configuration
setting to handle this?
