http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication

-------

Browsers with support for TLS server name indication[6]:

Internet Explorer 7 or later, on Windows Vista or higher. Does not

this feature is not browser version dependent, it depends on SChannel
system component which introduced the support of TLS SNI extension,
starting from Windows Vista, not XP).[7]
