Server Name Indication support in Net::HTTP?

For SNI support, you need a newer OpenSSL release (0.9.8f with --enable-tlsext or 0.9.8j or later) and call OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#hostname = 'hostname' before SSLSocket#connect. Net::HTTPS does not support SNI yet, and open-uri doesn't.

Checking out httpclient development repository should support SNI.

Let me know if you need released gem real soon now...

Ruby 2.0 will address the TLS SNI (Server Name Indication) issue:

from net/http..

#        ...
#           s.session = @ssl_session if @ssl_session
#           # Server Name Indication (SNI) RFC 3546
#           s.hostname = @address if s.respond_to? :hostname=
#           Timeout.timeout(@open_timeout, Net::OpenTimeout) { s.connect }
#           if @ssl_context.verify_mode != OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
#             s.post_connection_check(@address)
#           end
#           ...

To make this work in 1.9.2 (or higher ) apply similar patch to net/http

#         ...
# BEGIN:  SNI PATCH http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4351
#          s.hostname = @address if s.respond_to? :hostname=
# END:   SNI PATCH http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4351
#          timeout(@open_timeout) { s.connect }
#          if @ssl_context.verify_mode != OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
#            s.post_connection_check(@address)
#          end
#        ...
