Bug 135805 – apache 2.2.2 ebuild, with SSL server-name indication support

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description J 2006-06-06 11:14:55 UTC]

This is an ebuild for apache 2.2.2 with Server Name Indication support (via a new "sni" use flag).  SNI essentially allows ssl name-based virtual hosts with browsers that support it.  So far I think that means just Opera 8.x and later.  I tested it with Opera 9.0.0 beta2

SNI support requires an openssl 0.9.9 snapshot, so I added that to bugzilla too.

With the exception of MPMs, we don't support or include third-party patches for apache. Get the patch accepted upstream if you want this support.

Just FYI: SNI support has been added to apache 2.2.x and 2.3, and is scheduled to be included in the forthcoming 2.2.12 release.

gentoos apache has supported SNI for quite some time now, but thanks for the info.
