Hey all,

I am missing something in my understanding. Many people have asked this
question countless times.
Is this something that mod_ssl needs or is this a apache(etc) related
problem? Is there ever going to be a way to do name based virtual hosting
with apache and mod_ssl?


"because the Hostname is not known by the server at the time it should
present the certificate."

Surely this isnt as trivial as it sounds? How about we let the server know
the hostname?


Thanks for any info.
