       If you are using Squid 1.2beta and Netscape 4.x then you MUST use
       different server names for your HTTP and Security (SSL) proxy. This
       is due to a bug in Netscape4.0x that may cause https requests to be
       sent in plain text to a Squid 1.2beta proxy server.
    
    FWIW, this bug is still present in the latest Netscape beta, 4.5 PR1.
    I reported this bug to them several months ago.  Guess it's time to
    report it again.
    
    Joe
