What I have:

Here is the context.
I have an Windows XP Pro machine where I have installed the VisualSVN Server (which is using Apache behind).

I configured VisualSVN Server to use the secured port 8443.
(It doesn't really matter what port VisualSVN Server is using here.)
I can now access SVN by using this link: https://localhost:8443/svn/

On IIS, I have some websites that I access using the port 443.
I can access these websites using the https protocol like this: https://localhost/

What I need:

I would like to access the SVN server without using the port, like this https://localhost/svn/
I think I need to redirect the traffic from the port 443 to the port 8443. ?!?

What I've tried:

What I thought I needed was a redirect proxy, so I tried to use SvnReverseProxy that I found here: http://gstoolkit.codeplex.com/

I tried with VisualSVN Server working on 8080 and 8443. In both cases, same result.
The SvnReverseProxy service is running successfully, but is adding the below code to httpd-custom.conf (located on C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\conf )

<Location /svn/>
  SVNIndexXSLT "/svn/svnindex.xsl" 
</Location>

and then VisualSVN Server stops working, not being able to locate the svnindex.xsl file.

So, is it possible to have VisualSVN Server working through IIS on 443?

It seems that for now the answer to "Is it possible to have VisualSVN Server working through IIS on 443?" is "NO".

What I ended up with is having the VisualSVN Server working on port 443 and the IIS on port 8443.

On VisualSVN Server side I made these changes:

File: httpd.conf

  ;>>> added:

    LoadModule proxy_module bin/mod_proxy.so
    LoadModule proxy_http_module bin/mod_proxy_http.so

  ;>>> on <IfModule ssl_module> I added:

    SSLProxyEngine On

File: httpd-custom.conf

  ;>>> added:

    <Location /MyIISWebSite>
      ProxyPass https://my-domain.com:8443/MyIISWebSite
      ProxyPassReverse https://my-domain.com:8443/MyIISWebSite
    </Location>

So, now when I am browsing to 

https://my-domain.com/MyIISWebSite/

my URL in the address bar remains unchanged and the content I get is the one from 

https://my-domain.com:8443/MyIISWebSite/

It is not the perfect solution, but is the best I could come up with till now...
