http:// is *NOT* the same thing has https:// .. therefore,
http://host:443 is a standard HTTP request to port 443, it is *NOT* a
HTTPS request.

URL 101 is in session!
protocol://user:pass@host:port/uri

and since "http" is not the same thing as "https", the server is simply
giving you back precisely what you asked for .. non-secure http from
port 443 .. which it doesn't know how to do since it's only designed to
speak secure http.

no wonder you found IIS5 to be "better" than in the past .. Microsoft
doesn't understand what RFCs are either.  ::sigh::
