Observations after immense exploration by Vijay and me...

I am using OpenSSL0.9.8o and Neon0.27. The problem is that this version
of OpenSSL does not have the SNI support whereas this version of neon
has a (broken) default SNI support.

This has been fixed in OpenSSL1.0.0d and Neon0.28.

Thanks and regards
