[NTLUG:Discuss] SSL on Virtual host

[Ralph Green]

Howdy,
  Some people may see my last message as too dismissive of IE.  The
point I am making is actually just based on technology.  The SNI allows
modern browsers to make a secure connection to a Website that is a
virtual host.  Since IE users obviously don't care about security, they
don't lose much and people should start using this feature.  It is self
evident that they don't care about security, or they would not be using
IE.  They may have to use Windows for some application, but they don't
have to use IE.  IE is one of the 2 programs responsible for a large
percentage of bad stuff propagating on the internet and there is really
not much excuse for using it.
Good day,
Ralph
