What this port is used for, ISA<->IIS

Note:I posted this under IIS newsgroup as well.

Win2003, IIS6.
Under "Internet Information Services/Web Sites" snap-in, I've created a

"Mysite" site.

If I click "Properties", "Web Site" tab, I see the following information:
TCP Port=8080 SSL=443

I published this site via ISA 2004. In ISA I setup a web listener to "listen
on port 8080" and "SSL=443".

Then when I browse
https://mysite.mycompany.com

I take traces and I see no indication of port 8080 being in use. Netmon
doesn't show that packets use port 8080 at all neither on the client or the
server during the request to https://mysite.mycompany.com (all the
communications are happening over SSL).

The strange part is this:
Prior to 'open' port 8080 in our main edge Checkpoint firewall, the site was
unreachable from the "Internet".
Perhaps even more strange, after opening the port in the edge firewall and
make the whole thing work, I go back to the edge firewall and I see *no*
hits in the access-list related to port 8080.

What would this port 8080 be used for this in this situation ? I am curious.
