By the way, I think the hostname matching provisions of 2818 (which is, after all, only an informational RFC, not a standard) are poorly thought out. Many machines have more hostnames than you can shake a stick at, and often provide certs with the wrong hostname in them (usually because they have no way to determine what the *right* hostname is, from inside that machine).
