WP Rewrite – remove "https://" from query string

Hello,

I created very simple plugin which embeds java applet on page and passess query string as a parameter. Everything is working fine if query string doesn’t contain “https://”. But when query string contains “https://” my plugin doesn’t pass any paramater (don’t know why). How to write WP Rewrite method that would remove “https://” from query string if existing?
