Hello,

Currently, openssl s_client supports the -servername parameter to pass
an SNI hostname.

However, wouldn't it be useful to have s_client automatically use the
host name specified for -connect as the SNI service name as well?

So instead of saying:

openssl s_client -connect www.lll.lu:443 -servername www.lll.lu

you would simply say:

openssl s_client -connect www.lll.lu:443

This would be especially practical when connecting to many hosts in a
row for testing, so that you'd only need only need to specify the host
name once. Or for those cases where SNI would not be wanted, there could
be a config option in openssl.conf to switch this on or off.


Thanks,

Alain
