You're wrong. :) The SSL exchange happens before the HTTP protocol over SSL can begin, and so the server has no idea which cert to send; or more practically, just has one cert configured per (host,port). There is a defined mechanism to do HTTPS over port 80 using a mechanism called Upgrade and inband TLS. This will make it possible to do name based vhosts and encryption, because you provide a Host: header along with the Upgrade: TLS/1.0 header. > According to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/name-based.html (thanks > Gerald), name-based hosting cannot be used with SSL due to the nature of the > SSL protocol.
