I'd never heard of SNI before, but looking at the Wikipedia page for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication
This will NOT work. The main reason being that Python 2 (which web2py runs on) does not support SNI. Python 3.2 does, however. So until there is a web3py, SNI will not be an option unless you use it through Apache (and figure out how to enable it). It's still pretty new; they just added support for it to Java 7 and Qt 4.8 (which were both just released a few months ago). Just because the OS supports it doesn't mean that the applications or the frameworks for those applications supports it. This quote seems to sum up SNI: "As of 2012 there are still many users of browsers that do not support SNI" On Wednesday, May 16, 2012 1:33:48 AM UTC-4, Annet wrote: > > To be able to access web2py's admin online I had a dedicated IP address at > WebFaction, and referenced admin > with a subdomain: admin.mydomain.com.
