Steve, Martin is probably right with his comment, it doesn't sound like a SSL problem but more a surrounding environment problem (browser, Apache, Tomcat?, Struts) 1. Have you checked with a suite of browsers? Internet Explorer seems to experience a lot of problems with HTTPS POST 2. Do you have SSLVerifyClient require active in your httpd.conf? If so deactivate it and try again. 3. Look at the relevant <Location> containers for <LIMIT> directives in your httpd.conf file. They should say something about Method. Add POST to this method list and try again 4. Did you put your mod_jk/mod_jk2 (or whatever you're using) connection configuration settings in the ssl.conf section of Apache?
Just some thoughts, maybe it helps you troubleshooting...

Only when using the HTTPS://... does the POSTing problem occur. My guess is that this could be either an openssl or mod_ssl problem and I was hoping that someone may have come across this problem before.
