The "Host" header is used to identify the virtual host being requested, but the SSL connection must be established first, before the "Host" header can be dealt with. So using the protocols as they exist today, each HTTPS-enabled domain requires its own IP address.
Not quite true. They can be done via different ports on the same IP. Not so easy on a Cobalt though.
FYI, I found an interesting concept to "fix" the problem at http://www.litech.org/~brian/boom2003/paper.html _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list cobalt-developers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
