Hello,
I was hoping the Fedora Apache maintainers would consider including the following patch into httpd for F9 (or F10):
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34607
specifically, the patch for httpd 2.2.x is:
http://people.apache.org/~fuankg/diffs/httpd-2.2.x-sni.diff
This feature would really open up mod_ssl for certain name-based virtualhost situations. It requires OpenSSL >= 0.9.8f, but F9 already has 0.9.8g!
I'd recommend you file it as a bug in bugzila, note it is an enhancement request. This way the apache maintainers/co-maintainers will see it and be reminded regularly when they look at bugzilla.
Thanks for the recommendation, I did so here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443513
How likely is apache 2.4 to be released before the feature freeze for Fedora 10 (e.g. ~4-5 months from now), whereby Fedora could pick this up "for free" then?
I wish I knew! httpd is not on a timed release schedule. Earlier this month on the httpd dev list there was a rather long discussion on that subject, but from what I could tell they didn't reach a consensus.
