Can't turn off SNI on apache

Question

When I go to: http://web-sniffer.net/ and check the headers of my site (https://www.example.org), I get a status code 200

But when I use the radio button HTTP/1.0 (without Host header), I get a status code 400 (Bad Request).

My apache log says "Hostname www.example.org provided via SNI, but no hostnmae provided in HTTP request"

I read that to make it work I need to turn off the directive "SSLStrictSNIVHostCheck" in my apache conf file.

I added this directive, but am still getting status code 400 when making a HTTP/1.0 (without Host Header)

For reference, this is my ports.conf file:

ServerName www.example.org

NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 10.0.0.1:80

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
    # If you add NameVirtualHost *:443 here, you will also have to change
    # the VirtualHost statement in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
    # to <VirtualHost *:443>
    # Server Name Indication for SSL named virtual hosts is currently not
    # supported by MSIE on Windows XP.
    Listen 443
    NameVirtualHost *:443
    SSLStrictSNIVHostCheck off
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
    Listen 443
</IfModule>

This is my default-ssl file:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName www.example.org
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    SSLStrictSNIVHostCheck off

Solution

As far as I can tell from looking at the Apache source code, you can't do that with any Apache configuration option. You MUST send a Host: header matching what was sent via SNI for Apache to accept it.

RFC 6066 section 11.1 specifies that web servers MUST check that the Host: header and host name sent via SNI match.

As a practical matter, any software speaking HTTP that was produced in the last 15 years or so should be sending the Host: header with every request. If you actually have something that isn't, it's either too ancient to still be on the Internet, or broken.
