SNI looks nice but considering that amount of SSL libraries out there that don't support it (including browsers), it will probably be something like 5-10 years

SNI looks nice but considering that amount of SSL libraries out there that don't support it (including browsers), it will probably be something like 5-10 years before we could deploy SNI for a general purpose site/service.

- tptacek 17y agoThat's good to know.
- sho 17y agoElucidating you, tptacek, is my highest priority.
- tptacek 17y agoYou can start by looking up the word "elucidate".
- sho 17y agoelucidate verb [ trans. ] make (something) clear; explain As usual, you have no point whatsoever. Glad to see the fan club noticed though. Why don't you "tweet" about it?
- timf 17y agoHe may have meant that elucidate does not take "you" as an object unless the thing being made clear is the subject matter "you." At any rate, can you guys take this to email or something? :-)
