To bad, I was hoping you had a work-around. You can thank Ed Kubitias who
explained it to me when I didn't have a clue :) I suppose that in the
e-commerce context that SSL is often used (i.e., only for the "cash
register") you could set up multiple port-based secure servers--they're
always going to come to the SSL host from a link that the customer
controls, right? Though some clients behind a firewall might have trouble
with non-standard ports...
