Summary:                    SubjectAltName not supported for Server Names
Description: 
Currently, only the common name is checked to match when searching for a
certificate.  The SubjectAltName should also be checked for matches.  This
is required as part of RFC 2818.

And the standard mod_ssl doesn't check the altsubjectname DNS records
either.  And if you do have the altsubjectname set in your Cert, Firefox
will ONLY use that and ignore common name..  (I was creating web certs
today)

Is there a bug on issues.apache.org in reference to mod_ssl?? (only 2.0.50
tested however)

RFC 2818 requires that (as much as it requires anything, given that
it is merely an informational RFC and doesn't specify a standard).
