The -I does not take any argument, it tells ab to use iether the -H

but why is there a param needed instead just send the SNI header from the
given URL like any browser does?

You may want to use an IP (or another DNS name) in the URL and still
reach the right (Virtual)Host on the server by specifying a -H "Host:
...".

The -H "Host:" existed already, and if it's used it has to be taken
for the SNI, that's how the server will elect the appropriate
VirtualHost if multiple ones listen on the same port.

Oh, I probably misunderstood your remark, you probably meant this
should be the defaut when TLS is available and used (per -f).

Good point, will look at it

exactly - it's all present what is needed to send the host-header and in case of TLS that's just the same which is needed for the SNI header without the need to tell "ab" it should use SNI by introducing a new param
