RFC 6066 3. Server Name Indication

public sealed class ServerName
Inheritance
ServerName
Inherited Members

Remarks

Current implementation uses this guidance: "For backward compatibility, all future data structures associated with new NameTypes MUST begin with a 16-bit length field. TLS MAY treat provided server names as opaque data and pass the names and types to the application.". RFC 6066 specifies ASCII encoding for host_name (possibly using A-labels for IDNs), but note that the previous version (RFC 4366) specified UTF-8 encoding (see RFC 6066 Appendix A). For maximum compatibility, it is recommended that client code tolerate receiving UTF-8 from the peer, but only generate ASCII itself.
