HTTP CONNECT attempts

["Dmitri Smirnov" <Dmitri.Smirnov () roundheaven com>]

Morning,

need an advice. I've got more them 20 "HTTP CONNECT" IDS alerts (BugTraq id 4131) 
from 3 diff. sources for today and yesterday. Looks like some tool is out and people started to use it.
The only problem is: I don't understand why people are trying to use port 80 to connect to port 443 (which is usually 
open
to a world in my case).
