Obviously I didn't check everywhere before posting and I
finally found the answer.
Without having to install a certificate, the steps to do
this are:
2. Change the secure binding so the server listens on a
port other than 443
for secure communications. To do this:
a. Open a command prompt and type: cd
\inetpub\adminscripts (or
\winnt\system32\inetsrv\adminsamples if you're running IIS
4):
b. Type: cscript adsutil.vbs set
w3svc/1/securebindings ":8000:" (you can
replace 8000 with any other port you choose)
c. Restart IIS.

Hello,
You are absolutely right!! Please refer to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290391 for more
info on how to modify that key. If you are not using SSL on a particular
site, you can leave the securebindings key empty.
Thanks,
