ERR_UNSUP_REQ and https: URLs

I've been getting a lot of complaints about https: URLs in my cache.log,
so I modified
the ERR_UNSUP_REQ file to add something like:

<P>If you received this error as a result of trying to access a secure
page
in Netscape, then it is due to a bug in older versions of Netscape that
try
to send a secure request down an unsecured channel. In this case, you
can
either:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Wait a few seconds and try again. The bug only occurs if Netscape
already
has a connection to the website open when you request the secure URL.
<LI>Upgrade your Netscape. The bug is supposed to be fixed in the 4.7
versions.
<LI>Try modifying your proxy settings. The bug will only occur if your
"Security Proxy" is the same as your "HTTP Proxy".
</UL>

Perhaps something like this could be added to the default ERR_UNSUP_REQ
file? Or maybe an ERR_HTTPS_REQ file could be created specifically for
this problem?
