Hi
It *is* now possible to have multiple HTTPS sites on one IP address and port 443 by putting multiple domain names into one certificate as SubjectAltNames, see the CAcert wiki for more info:
Thank you very much for that information.
On the other hand that issue would be much easier if browsers and webservers knew how to do "STARTTLS", so that the domain name the request is going to is known by the webserver. The session *then* can be encrypted with the key for exactly that domain.
