Server_name for https

Server NGINX
1

Hello,

Since HTTPS doesn’t support vhost, shall we have the need to put the
server_name command in the server section? for example,

     server {
            listen       443;
            server_name  xxx.example.com;
            ....
     }

Thanks.

o_O since when does HTTPS not support vhosts ?

the only problem is when having multiple SSL vhosts on the same IP - the
certificate has to cover all those vhosts.

To answer your question, you shall provide:
server_name $_;

it’s the default vhost

Cheers,

C.

OK That’s right thanks.
I have misunderstood the SSL Proxy maybe, now I got it.

Even this is not needed since nginx does support SNI.

Hope this helps a bit,

This is not default virtual host. Please read this:

Woops, indeed - sorry :confused: (never used this syntax in my installation… )

server should always have a name. Or it will be “” by default.
