Hi Alan,

If the default website is not using a host header, it will work. The
problem with host headers and SSL is that the information required for IIS
to send the request to the right site based on host headers is still
encrypted at that point.

187504 HTTP 1.1 Host Headers Are Not Supported When You Use SSL
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=187504

Hope this helps!
