Where do you see an unencrypted request here? I just see one unauthenticated 
and one authenticated here. The log tells nothing about the encryption status.

SSL is transport layer security, i.e. in encrypts the data stream, regardless 
on higher level protocols' authentication scheme. It doesn't know nor care. 
HTTP auth is then applied on top (i.e. inside the encrypted data stream), and 
the way it works is to issue a request, and wait for the server to ask for 
authentication (which it does, 401). The client will then follow up with an 
attempt to present its credentials, which succeeds (207, webdav multi status).

Cheers,
