Re: [squid-users] Fwd: gmail.com certificate name mismatch

Thank you, this is very helpful information. I will look into these options.

I know this question will make some people cringe, but the following
crazy thought has been bothering me:
Instead of generating a spoofed cert for every domain, why can't squid
serve out one wildcard cert for each root domain. eg *.com?
I know this sounds crazy but once we're breaking ssl and the client
has to trust us, is there any reason this can't be done? Seems to me
it would simplify a lot of the edge cases at the same time reduce
overhead.
(eg it would solve the SNI problem at gmail.com)
To take it further there could even be one cert which includes
SubjectAltName wildcards for all the popular root domains..

I'm sure there's a good reason this hasn't been done just wondering if
someone could set me straight. :-)

Thanks.
