Hi All, I receive this error "HTTPS Unknown Error" with error code 500 from the apache server when i try to make a PUT request through HTTPS. Are their any specific reasons of that ? I have a test application which gets 204 response from the same server but our live application gets 500 response code. This seems confusing - anyone with help will be highly appreciated.

You claim to >have spent two MONTHS trying to find what I found in under 10 >SECONDS. Er... the difference is that you recognised the problem immediately because you have seen it before. So you knew exactly what to type into Google. If you put yourself in Ian's shoes, he was using the NBVH mechanism for ages and became very familiar with it. He then tried to extend it to SSL, which is a reasonable thing to do, and then was suprised that it didn't work. It is not blindingly obvious, a priori, what the problem is. In that case, it is not so obvious what to type into Google - you might not necessarily realise that the problem is to do with NBVH, especially if that is not the only thing you changed. I am making this comment because I followed a very similar route to Ian in discovering this SSL limitation. In my case, I was tasked by my boss, who is a competent programmer, to "set up some NBVHs under SSL". It never occurred to me that my boss could have handed me an impossible task and I spent weeks trying to get it to work. In the end, it was this mailing list which enlightened me. Since then, I've tried to help out on the list, initially by explaining this issue whenever it came up but lately (since others also now do this quite ably), by chipping in whenever some bright spark reckons that he's found a workaround (it's a bit like debunking perpetual motion machine designs). Usually, he's forgotten about authentication and is using the same cert in all VHs... Anyway, the point I'm making is that the original poster is obviously a seasoned hacker (he uses openssl from the command line!) and as such should be welcome on this list and congratulated for using mod_ssl... So could we be a bit friendlier please?
