Upgrading to TLS Within HTTP

    Hi everyone,


    I'm trying to upgrade an HTTP connection to a secure HTTPS connection through TLS over the same TCP connection.


    I'm not trying to use the Server Name Indication method, nor am I using the SubjectAltName route outlined in Wikipedia. (Neither method can be employed well if multiple hosts are sharing the same connection.)


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_hosting
    (The main issue is outlined in the Name-Based section of Virtual Hosting.)


    I'm actually trying to follow up with the strategies in this RFC:


    http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2817.txt


    However, I can't seem to find more information on it? Has anyone had a similar problem? How did you handle it?


    To sum up, I'm trying to initialize TLS on an HTTP connection to upgrade to a secure connection. The RFC mentioned outlines a strategy, but I haven't found any further information on this, nor have I found any instances where it's been carried out.


    Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated!
