said by patcat88:HTTPS/SSL REQUIRES a unique IP for each website. Host tag is useless. This is an incorrect assumption. I actually just did a paper/talk on SSL/TLS. You can use the same IP for multiple SSL certificates, however, the server and browser must support SNI (RFC 4366). More info here |

| said by patcat88:Most Windows XP browsers dont yet, who knows if MS will backport SNI ever. I am not sure of that, according to »www.google.com/support/forum/p/C···4e&hl=en it does work in Firefox in XP but not Chrome. That post was made in early 2009 so I would imagine that the "bug" was fixed as it seemed to affect all browsers using webkit. Of course, as the facts stand now, the majority of browsers don't support it in XP, like you said.
Which, of course, you should know why that is. But, I have an alternative that I will be making available. |
