The big picture is following:

1) You can't use https + virtual host, see apache documentation [1]
   (if you don't have separete IP for it)

2) (This might be somehow wrong), when you are doing merge, move or
   copy you are using WebDAV commands, which need that both resources
   are in the same namespace. [2] Now because virtual domains don't work,
   they aren't, and this is the reason why you are getting 'bad
   gateway' error.

This is REALLY IIRC, so I hope someone will correct me if this is
complete off-track. I have been bitten by the same kind of problems
with proxies and subversion.

1) http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/name-based.html

2) Try search webdav-mailing list... found this somewhere there, some
   time ago, but couldn't find it again.
