Is there a free alternative to IIS which supports HTTPS?

Question

I develop on the following configuration:

OS: Vista - Home Edition
IIS: IIS 7 - only in a simplified version without the administrative console, etc.

I'm working on an application that uses ASP.NET MVC 2.

The built-in Visual Studio Server is perfect for my work, but it does not support HTTPS.

Is there a free alternative to IIS that supports HTTPS, or whether it is possible to install the full version of IIS on Vista Home Edition?

im not sure about https but i know that web platform installer is a useful tool for getting iis for free on the lower end operating systems. this may not help at all sorry if so. — Daniel Casserly, Jan 19 '11 at 21:58

Check out IIS Express, a cut down version of IIS 7.5:

In theory yes! You can use Mono and Apache: ASP.NET MVC 2 on mono But why do you need Https on your development machine?

MONO - this is also a long way to go, and if that works? Why do I want to use SSL when coding? Because I want to make sure that everything works as it should ... – stanik Jan 19 '11 at 22:02
