SNI support for client-side

 

As we work on the package upload/download server, I came to the question on
wether we should require SNI [1] support from the clients, such that we are
not restricted to one certificate per public IP (you know, IPv4 is a scarce
resource).

Browser support is fairly widespread by now [2], but Python for example
only supports SNI with Python 3.2 onwards.
