- Animats 12y agoRight; you have to get to at least Windows Vista to get SNI.
- dspillett 12y agoYou have to have at least Vista to get SNI in IE. IIRC both Firefox and Chrome support SNI on XP.
- bad_user 12y agoFirefox and Chrome on the other hand don't have a problem on Windows XP.
- sporkmonger 12y agoAlso the non-Chrome version of Android Gingerbread's browser lacks SNI support.
- tedunangst 12y agoIt's also not supported by python urllib or feedparser (at least not by default), meaning any attempt to connect to a service that requires SNI (cloudfront is one) fails during handshake. This is doubly annoying for checking blogs that require https and redirect http. I have no way to check their RSS feeds.
- Animats 12y agoRead this Python bug report for the painful story of SNI support in Python, 2009 through 2014. http://bugs.python.org/issue5639 http://bugs.python.org/issue5639
- tedunangst 12y agoSigh.
