Hi,

First post here, so forgive me if I am in the wrong area please. I have been reading this thread for awhile, and it looks like what I want to do is possible but I am confused by the various means discussed here to accomplish it.

What I am trying to do is expose my library to the web, via an existing IIS 6.0 web server I already have on my network. I want to use HTTPS as the protocol which my home webserver is setup to do.

I am unsure what I need to do to "reroute" Calibre's internal web server to allow me to serve the content via my own server. I have Calibre installed on the same server (A Windows Home Server OS based on Server 2003). The library is also already stored on the server and is accessible.

Any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated! And I am sorry if this has been asked and answered but I could not find the necessary information with the searches I ran against the forum, or perhaps did not recognize the information for what it was.
