the following URL may be of interest to you:

basically it comes down to this, in order for IE to "appear" faster, it
will perform an inproper handshake to start the HTTP transfer sooner.
IIS will actually respond to this and immediately start the transfer.
This is yet another stupid little hack from Microsoft to make their
products to appear faster or better than the rest.
since you are running a normal web server, it doesn't like this and will
actually kick back and tell IE to start over, this time doing it
correctly.
so, this may explain all those connections with no content. IE is
trying to perform it's "quick" connect and transfer hoping that you are
running IIS, only to be told from your webserver to try again correctly.
later.
