According to the Gartner group this can't be done securely.  IIS is not
secure.  Your connection method doesn't matter if the server running IIS
can easily be compromised.  Gartner recommends that IIS not be used.

Use a secure web server first, then worry about how to communicate.
Netscape, Apache, Zope, and others make good web server products.  If
security is a big enough of a concern that your present config makes you
jump, then IIS should really make you worry.
