That's not a header, it's the body of an HTTP POST and is working as
designed.  I assume you got that either from a client proxy, request
trace tool (e.g. firebug), or server request dump.  In any of those
cases, you're viewing the data either _before_ or _after_ transport
encryption.  The data is of course plain text to the endpoints of the
SSL conversation; the purpose of SSL is to encrypt the data in transit
to prevent interception by third parties outside the two communicating
peers.
