Just out of curiousity:
If I get it right, SSL virtual hosting in Cherokee is only available if:

- You use a really recent OpenSSL version (self compiled or the latest
or use Fedora/FreeBSD - most known Linux distro's won't have the OpenSSL
with SNI build in).

- Your clients have to use at least Vista or a recent Firefox (most big
organizations still use Windows 2000/XP and IE 7 but not the Vista IE 7
of even Windows 7)

I heard a couple of months a go that it would be perhaps possible to
implement the 'old' version of virtual hosts with unique ip-adresses and
use their own SSL certs/keys. Or at least cherokee project was thinking
about offering the old SSL virtual hosting.
Is this still going to be implemented or is cherokee the only webserver
forcing users to use SNI or run multiple cherokee instances (what is
waste of resources) ?

If I get it wrong, then please correct me but to my knowledge million
users are using one of the big famous Linux distro's and are not being
able to fully use cherokee with the default OpenSSL and settings they
installed from the system ? (let's not forget about the millions of
people working at banks or financial companies not being able to use
windows vista or firefox 2/3.* because their company policy are not
allowing them to use something different then Windows 2000/XP and IE 6/7.

Just my 0,02 $ regarding SSL and virtual hosting and the latest OpenSSL
techniques ;)

I just want to run old style SSL with uniq ip-adresses, is it going
possible with cherokee version * and the default OpenSSL version
provided by the package management and running 1 cherokee version or am
I force to use 3 cherokee's or upgrade my OpenSSL version manually with
source tarballs?

Kind Regards,

Michiel
