iis6

I have a server which is running a web app that self serves HTTP. I'm wanting to use IIS6 (on the same server) to provide a HTTPS layer to this web app.

From what I can tell doing a reverse proxy will allow me to do this. IIRF seems like the tool to do this job.

There are no domain names involved.... its all ip numbers. So I think I want :-

https:<ipnumber>:5001

to send all its requests to the same server but on a different port and use HTTP ( not exposed to the net )

http:<ipnumber>:5000

but not sure how to go about it with IIRF, I'm not entirely sure how to write the rules?

I think I need to make a virtual web app on 5001 using HTTPS? then add a rules file.
