redirection for SSL without cert HELP

When you make a request to an HTTPS web server and the server responds with a certificate, the browser compares the subject of the cert with the host name it made the request to. If they don't match, and the browser isn't configured to ignore cert mismatch errors, the browser will generate a cert mismatch error. As you're making a request by IP address, the cert subject won't match and you'll get the browser warning.

 

 

If you make a request which matches the cert's subject, do you still get a warning? Are clients requesting host names which don't match the cert's subject? If so, take a look at this post (Click here) for some additional info.
