Mock SSL HttpRequest for Unit Testing

Question

I'm trying to mock out an SSL HttpRequest but I'm having trouble figuring out how to set the protocol to HTTPS in the request object. I got started from an example from Phil Haack here: http://haacked.com/archive/2005/06/11/simulating_httpcontext.aspx

Is there a way to set the request to SSL?

public class MockHttpRequest : SimpleWorkerRequest
{
    private string _Host;

    public MockHttpRequest(
        string appVirtualDir, string appPhysicalDir, string page, string query, TextWriter output, string host) :
        base(appVirtualDir, appPhysicalDir, page, query, output)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(host))
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("Host must be provided.");
        }

        _Host = host;
    }
}

public static class UnitTestingHelper
{
    public static HttpContext CreateMockHttpContext(string host, string page)
    {
        string appVirtualDir = "/";
        string appPhysicalDir = @"C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\Workspace\Project\";
        string query = string.Empty;
        TextWriter output = null;

        MockHttpRequest request
            = new MockHttpRequest(appVirtualDir, appPhysicalDir, "default.aspx", query, output, host);

        // How to make the request HTTPS?

        HttpContext context = new HttpContext(request);

        return new HttpContext(request);
    }
}

I think there's a IsSecureConnection property somewhere in HttpContext.Request that needs to be true.
