It does appear that the SSL gods have wisened up - no more wasting

request for nginx (I could use it right now!)
Oops. According to wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication nginx already can
support this.
However, I just noticed - IE6 and IE7 on XP don't. Doh. How pathetic.
All it would be is a frickin couple files changed probably.
For nginx to support it, you just need OpenSSL built with SNI support
(--enable-tlsext) and I'm not sure if you have to specify
ssl_protocols or something related to 'force' that protocol all the
time in nginx or not.
You do not need to configure SNI in nginx: it just works if there is
OpenSSL support.
This sucks though. I have to support IE6/IE7 on XP...
The single hope is Windows 7. If it will be lighter than Vista,
then people may consider to upgrade.
Sadly the UI is all vista-y and is really pissing me off. But think of
how long it takes to upgrade the general public. It will be a long
time before SNI equipped windows is the standard. There is probably
more chance in them patching the existing IEs...
