Short answer is, IIS doesn't support SSL offloading, period. Or any other
form of virtualized hosting. Any app that works in that environment is is
doing relative redirects (illegal in HTTP) or hardcoding its own URL
somewhere in a file or database.

The SP takes pains to work around this limitation, but I see no benefit in
advocating people deploy IIS in a manner that it itself does not support.
Lots of people do, of course.
