SSL on/off on same port and IP

[Ingo Lafrenz]

Hi,

consider the following very simple nginx config:
http {
     server {
         listen 127.0.0.1:123;
         server_name abc;
     }
     server {
         listen 127.0.0.1:123 ssl;
         server_name xyz;
         ssl_certificate...;
     }
}

In words:
I instruct nginx to listen on the same port and IP, one time without 
ssl, one time with ssl. IMHO this is a broken config, however nginx 
accepts it.

What would you say? Should nginx reject such a config? Right now you 
only get an error at request time.

It gets even worse, if the 2nd server is configured with the ssl 
directive instead of "listen ssl":
     server {
         listen 127.0.0.1:123;
         server_name xyz;
         ssl on;
         ssl_certificate...;
     }

In that case you don't even see an error in the logs anymore and clients 
can't connect via https anymore.
