OK, I have some more information... The whole webapp is served through mod_ssl, as such (in the webapp specific config file):
---- <VirtualHost the.server.name:443> [...] SSLEngine on SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:-MEDIUM:-SSLv2:-LOW:-eNULL SSLOptions +StdEnvVars +ExportCertData SSLCertificateKeyFile conf/ssl.key/one2team.key SSLCertificateFile conf/ssl.crt/one2team.crt [...] ---- The dates of the messages in jk.log match precisely the moment where users see a security popup (well, at least during work hours) warning them that the page contains secure and non secure items. When they choose to see the page anyway, IE says that "the page cannot be loaded" (doh). Those same pages work fine the rest of the time. But IE is not the only "culprit", since Firefox users also get the warning and observe the same behaviour: ask to view the page anyway, but it immediately fails to load - this time with a message saying (translated from French, so very probably inaccurate) 'Timeout - The server took too much time to respond'. Whenever you click Yes immediately or 5 seconds later.
From what I've read, this message can appear when an empty response is
sent back to the browser, even if this response is supposedly SSL (the mod_ssl configuration looks fine AFAICT). I use konqueror myself, but don't use the site regularly enough that I encountered this problem. The question which I still didn't find an answer for is what mod_jk actually calls the client...
