Not quite.

The problem is that the SSL handshake happens before any HTTP
traffic is sent. Thus, the server doesn't know.

Fixing this requires a change to SSL/TLS. This change is in
process (see draft-ietf-tls-extensions-XX.txt). However,
you will still have to wait for it to percolate through
most of the browsers in the world, which will take quite some
time.
