i don't see why it would be (first off)

try using lynx -mime_header http://foo.com/ and see what it says. i do
http to https all the time without an issue. you need to inspect the
headers and what is happening on the client side. firebug for firefox

why do you have this chunk? these headers are being sent to the
upstream and there is no upstream.
