iis security : HTTP 403.4 Error

I'm trying to get a distance learning software package
(Flex Training by Online Development) up. This software
is based primarily on Active Server Pages (ASP). It works
fine without SSL/128 enabled. But once I enable SSL, the
final page that is supposed to launch the "class" returns
a HTTP 403.4 error stating I must use "https://" at the
beginning of the address--AND IT IS ALREADY THERE.
Neither the software company or myself can figure this

I suggest you look in the IIS HTTP logs. What I suspect is that you are
launching the app using https:// but it is attempt to redirect, or load
other resources, using plain HTTP, and then you are getting the error.

Have a look in the IIS logs, and see what requests are being made, and what
source port is being used (80 or 443)

Cheers
Ken
