In the request description (section 2) of the gemini specification, there is:
Gemini requests are a UTF-8 encoded absolute URL, including a scheme
Sending an absolute URL permits virtual hosting of multiple Gemini
domains on the same IP address.
And TLS section 4, there is:
Use of the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension to TLS is also mandatory,
to facilitate name-based virtual hosting.
The SNI seems redundant because the hostname is in the request already.
What is the reason to have SNI mandatory?
