ok, I take this as agreement for the rest of Kaspar's SNI patch which I've just commited.
all others: please test current CVS / snapshot code, and report about any issues you find related to this new feature!
To enable / test SNI remember that you have to compile OpenSSL 0.9.8 line with 'enable-tlsext'; OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev and the other current SSL toolkits support this tls extension by default.
Kaspar has also created a test site where you can test that it works; the main page url is:
https://sni.velox.ch/
check this page with your browser, and fetch the root certificate for further testing.
There's more than a month till next sheduled release which should be enough time to find any outstanding issues.
thanks, Guen.
