Just to clarify for those who might be listening and didn't follow
George's earlier posts, Apache 2.0 handles https: requests to CGI's
perfectly fine.  EXCEPT when you try to configure it to renegotiate on a
POST request (which could happen if, say, your cgi-bin directory had
per-directory SSL parameters set (eg SSLProtocol or requiring a client
certificate)).

[As a bit of historical reference, those of you who've been around for a
while will recall that mod_ssl for Apache 1.3 had the same problem (worse,
actually... it just gave an I/O error) until version 2.3.10, when the
method not allowed response an experimental workaround were put in.  It
remained available only with --enable-rule=SSL_EXPERIMENTAL up until
version 2.5.0.]
