Is there a resolution on IIS for this SEO canonical issue?

I have a site running on IIS that I have a canonical issue with.

The error is:

The page with URL "http://example.org/images/join_forum.gif" can also be accessed by using URL "https://example.org/images/join_forum.gif".

Search engines identify unique pages by using URLs. When a single page can be accessed by using any one of multiple URLs, a search engine assumes that there are multiple unique pages. Use a single URL to reference a page to prevent dilution of page relevance. You can prevent dilution by following a standard URL format.

How can I resolve this?

If the only difference is http vs https then don't worry about it. Search engines are smart enough to know they are the same file. And especially so for images.
