Today the link to http://packages.gentoo.org had been changed to https://packages.gentoo.org which do not work as the test to use SNI has failed. --- copy paste --- A user is now greeted with the following message: Empty Page! If you expected a real website instead something must be wrong. :-( If you also got an SSL hostname mismatch, your browser doesn't properly support SNI (e.g. IE8 on Windows XP). -- eof --- Tested with (all supports SNI): opera-12.02.1578 seamonkey-2.17.1 firefox-21.0 chromium-25.0.1364.97 konqueror-4.10.3 so this isn't a client issue and have tested on other servers using SNI. Easy fix is to change the "Online Package Database" link to point back on the http://packages.gentoo.org
Proof of that the browser supports SNI by visiting https://gentoo.sni.velox.ch: TLS SNI Test Site: *.sni.velox.ch Great! Your client [Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 SeaMonkey/2.17.1] sent the following TLS server name indication extension (RFC 6066) in its ClientHello (negotiated protocol: TLSv1, cipher suite: ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA): gentoo.sni.velox.ch In your request, this header was included: Host: gentoo.sni.velox.ch
The site config was broken, fixed
