I was trapped by the no SSL with name-based virtual hosts as well... has
anyone thought about amending the protocol specification to enable this? ...
back in '95, my company (WebCom, at the time) was at the forefront of
pushing for the HTTP_HOST header to be included in the HTTP 1.1
specification... seems like this would be a similarly logical extension.

But you do know you can't use virtual hosts with different host names
with SSL ?

The certificate containing the host name is send in the SSL handshake
and in the SSL handshake we have no Host:  line...
