>From the original message:
"the first page has a link to the second page. Here's the
link: <a href="https://unap/test2.php">click me</a>. "unap"
is a virtual host on the server and all other links work
correctly on the server but not this one. *However*, if I
change the link to a fixed IP address, i.e., <a
href="https://192.168.1.112/unap/test2.php">click
me</a>...it works fine.

I don't think he's trying to have multiple ssl virtual hosts
-- I think he just wants the the one he was to work "name
based".

I feel a little guilty about sending the message about that
link because, like you, I don't think it's possible. And I
would not want to send anyone on a wild goose chase.

But hey, you never know it might help...

It is impossible to have more than one SSL enabled site on a
single IP
without using an external device to hold multiple IP's and
forward to a
single IP but on different ports.

What I am trying to say is that these cannot be hosted on a
single IP
(but one could be):
https://www.example1.com
https://www.example2.com
https://www.example3.com

You can have multiple virtual hosts that use http and a
single https
virtual host all on a single IP though.  This is possible:
https://secure.hosting.com
http://www.example1.com
http://www.example2.com
http://www.example3.com

The reason (unless something major has changed in the TCP/IP
world) is
that SSL happens at a lower level in the TCP/IP protocol
stack than the
browser sending over what site it is looking for.

If someone can prove me wrong please provide details I would
LOVE for it
to be possible and it has been over a year since I have
needed to
implement something like this.
