Let me make some guesses... you're using IE... you're using proxy
authentication (I could've checked but I know where I'm going with
this)... you haven't previously authenticated to the proxy in the
current session.

In which case, your browser is at fault! Run to Microsoft and complain.
 Basically, IE when requested for proxy authentication for an https
resource, duly prompts for authentication but then proceeds to downgrade
the request to an http request for an origin server and not a proxy
request as required.

Try using a proper browser or raise a fault with M$. Or if you have a
death wish, try 'upgrading' to IE7. I have no idea if they've fixed it
in that!

HTH,
