That should say:
 
"When you unbind the Web Proxy Filter from the HTTP protocol......."
 
whopps.

        No, you need to configure the HTTP Security Filter, and in order
to configured the HTTP Security Filter, the Web Proxy Filter must be
enabled.
         
        Its always enabled for Web listeners
         
        It can unbound from the HTTP protocol, in which case the
configuration interface for the HTTP Security Filter disappears, but you
configuration changes remain intact.
         
        When you unbind the Web proxy filter from the HTTPS protocol, no
Web caching or filtering is done for Firewall clients or SecureNAT
clients.
         
        Web proxy clients are always exposed to the Web proxy filter,
even if you unbind it from the HTTP protocol.
         
        How's that?

                If you're just publishing OWA and an RPC proxy over
HTTPS, isn't any filter configuration automatically handled by ISA when
running the Publish Mail Server wizard?  As I understood it, ISA knows
that stuff inherently; no configuration necessary.

                We're all pendants here ;)
                
                Here is my specific question then:
                
                I want to publish HTTPS ie OWA for RPC and HTTPS.  I
obviously need to
                configure the HTTP Filter properties.  If I have the Web
Filter bound to
                HTTPS (iow, selected in the available filters under the
protocl config) then
                ALL outbound HTTPS traffic breaks.  Therefore, one has
to un-bind the Web
                Filter from HTTPS for outbound to work (on this
install).
                
                Ergo, since the Web Filter is not bound to the HTTPS
protocol (in order for
                outbound to work), there is no way to select "Configure
HTTP" from the
                properties of the web publishing rule.
                
                FromwhenthouNowThinketh, WTF is the deal on what
properties of the filter
                are applied?  See what I mean??
