Thanks for saying so :-).

Nope, I have just grown blind to that box.  We should really just give up on sitemeter and delete it everywhere.  They were injecting some nasty stuff into our pages on some other areas of the site and it has been removed.

buildbot.t.c and www.t.c are the same host and, upon closer inspection, you will see they're using the same certificate.  The problem is that it's not valid for buildbot.t.c because of dumb rules.

I rolled a cert for buildbot some time ago, but it was never installed.

In the meanwhile I have written <https://github.com/glyph/TxSNI> (also thanks to Rackspace!), which makes setting up SNI sites _much_ easier.  If someone wanted to submit a pull request to <https://github.com/twisted-infra/t-web/blob/462262bddcd996bf99c181c4baf7ac55efbb4c53/fabfile.py#L53-L70> and <https://github.com/twisted-infra/t-web/blob/462262bddcd996bf99c181c4baf7ac55efbb4c53/twisted-web/ports> and the other attendant files in t-web, I'm sure I could deploy it.  Or I will (eventually) get around to it.

Not sure.  Hopefully someone more familiar with the buildbot configuration will opine :-).
