“–enable-tlsext”. Since OpenSSL 0.8.9j this option is enabled by

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

seems better to me.

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 ?

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 😉

Cheers,
