So will everything else, including the URI being requested

I disagree from the data I'm seeing in the access logs from my SSL-hosted site running nginx. In the logs I can see lines such as:

GET /path/script?variable=blahblah&another_variable=123

EDIT since I appear to have lost the ability to reply to comments: I disagree with SomeOtherGuy2 that The fact that it may get logged is a red-herring.

Ignoring how secure a server with a rogue user accessing it is, it's possible that there will be more than one server involved in this scenario, and central logging servers are common. Will the traffic sent to the logging server be encrypted? And what if the logging server is compromised? You're essentially storing passwords in plain text.
