It clearly should say “Since OpenSSL 0.9.8j this option…” or perhaps
“…supports SNI since 0.8.9f version…”.  As is it’s logically
inconsistent.  See extract:

"
In order to use SNI in nginx, it must be supported in both the OpenSSL
library with which the nginx binary has been built as well as the
library to which it is being dynamically linked at run time. OpenSSL
supports SNI since 0.9.8f version if it was built with config option
“–enable-tlsext”. Since OpenSSL 0.8.9j this option is enabled by
default. If nginx was built with SNI support, then nginx will show this
when run with the “-V” switch:

OpenSSL supports SNI starting with 0.9.8f version. Nowever, you have to
enable this capability during OpenSSL building using the option
“–enable-tlsext”. Since OpenSSL 0.8.9j this option is enabled by default.

Is this better ?

“”“version. Nowever, you have to enable this “”” → version. However,
you have to enable this

seems better to me.

Hello again !

just checking the page, I fumble into another typo in the title of a
section:
“SSL certifcate chains” should be “SSL certificate chains”, I guess :wink:

Cheers,
