Browser sends complete URL before SSL ?

["Puskás Zsolt ( Errotan )" <errotan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all.
 
 I have a working apache2 server with ssl and I thought about if a client 
browser connects to the server with the URL like 
https://www.example.com/somedir/file.html the browser sends the full url in 
plaintext or connects to example.com encrypts the channel and then sends the 
remaining /somedir/file.html ? If it sends in plaintext I have to rewrite 
lots of php scripts for security :( .
