Re: HTTPAPI - SNI host name error

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

I don't think it's possible to run SNI on V6R1. GSKit is part of the OS, 
it can't be updated separately.

I'm guessing you don't have a requirement to use SNI, since you say 
everything is working.  I would just ignore it.  This error does not 
affect your application at all, it's only in the debug trace so that 
when someone reports stuff to me, I have all of the information at my 
fingertips.
