Apache2 and APR

The latest versions of Apache (2.2.12 and newer) support Server Name Indication (SNI), a feature of SSL and TLS, that allows you to do name-based virtual hosting over SSL, for multiple sites on a single IP address. The name of the virtual domain is sent as part of the TLS negotiation, allowing the server to choose the right certificate. It’s supposed to work in many modern browsers, except MSIE 6 and 7 on Windows XP. Since this is a great feature, I thought a backport was in order.

Apache 2.2.14 and its dependencies from apr (1.3.8) and apr-util (1.3.9) are now available in lenny-backports, as usual for i386 and amd64.
