I don't have access to a RaQ2 but the principle is simple. You need to look
for the <VirtualHost> definition in your httpd.conf file that listens on
port 443 for your server/domain and add the following line (minus eroneous
linefeeds added by email):

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
