No.  Cherokee does work with SSL/TLS independently of the client  
operating system and browser.  However, the TLS SNI extension is only  
supported by the most recent browsers, and Windows XP's IE isn't  
certainly among them.

In summary:
  - The Cherokee TLS/SSL does always work, whatever the client is.
  - The TLS SNI extension is not supported by XP's IE. There is  
nothing Cherokee can do about that. It's only a protocol extension, so  
it isn't that important anyway.
