Was "Re: SSLProxyCheckPeerCN / ProxyPreserveHost issue"

So, what do folks think about adding this directive to use the connection 
hostname for SNI and the SSLProxyCheckPeerCN feature?  Would such a directive 
be beneficial?  It seems a number of users who use ProxyPreserveHost will 
benefit from this.  It lets users revert to the behavior before the SNI change.

More details about the use-case here:

Subject: Re: SSLProxyCheckPeerCN / ProxyPreserveHost issue

Hi folks,

I came across an old issue that was discussed previously under 
"SSLProxyCheckPeerCN / ProxyPreserveHost issue":
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/201209.mbox/%3c50462600.7010...@kippdata.de%3E

However, I think I have found a legitimate use-case where I do want Apache to 
behave in the old way.  I've detailed the use case in this new bugzilla issue:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54656

Assuming that the new behavior since 2.4.3 will be the default going forward, 
I'm proposing a new directive [1] which would allow Apache in reverse proxy to 
use the connection hostname for SNI and SSLProxyCheckPeerCN instead of the 
Host: header.  This directive will be added when ProxyPreserveHost is on.

I'm curious what your thoughts are on the use case and this proposed directive.

Eugene
