First, did you have SSL_EXPERIMENTAL enabled when compiling mod_ssl or are
you're not using the experimental code. If you're not using the experimental
code, POST requests will certainly fail under lots of situations. You've to at
least enable SSL_EXPERIMENTAL to get POST working correctly. If you already
have the experimental code enabled, I've currently no clue why it doesn't
work.
