Apache does. I don't know of any clients that do, though at one point
it was suggested for Firefox (as it helps with the need for a static
IP for SSL sites).

It's a bit of a chicken and the egg problem. No client wants to
support it until the servers do, and no server wants to support it
until the clients do.
