While this behavior is sufficient in most cases, establishing a connection to a fixed IP using a certain server name is not possible. **Proposed solution:** Decouple the server name used for SNI from the address used for connecting. Add a new ssl_server_name attribute in Net::HTTP that defaults to the address (so the default behavior stays exactly the same). **Notes** * There are scenarios where a client would like to select a specific host when e.g. DNS round robin is configured. Examples: fallback strategies, monitoring of individual hosts. * This has nothing to do with the HTTP "Host" header, which one needs to set additionally. For my "proposed solution", a patch is attached (or see https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/1977). Please let me know about any ideas for improvement or other approaches, thanks! ---Files-------------------------------- ssl_server_name.patch (2.17 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
