Fix README and docs pages that no longer match the code
Bring the READMEs and the docs pages (en and ja) in line with the current header: - Fix the client sample that does not compile, the Transfer-Encoding statement for default headers, the verifier callback comment, the thread pool spawn rule, the sanitize_filename description, and the inverted Accept-Encoding sentence. - Describe recent behaviour: TLS errors behind Read/Write failures, Host validation, Connection: close for a body without length, content_reader rules, refused CONNECT, WebSocketClient proxies, CPPHTTPLIB_INTERIM_RESPONSE_MAX_COUNT, the SSE event size limit, and the payload limit of the Stream API. - Complete the API references of WebSocket, WebSocketClient and the stream:: helpers, and the SSE reconnect rules. - Fix cookbook pages: keychain loading on every backend, received Close status, a multipart sample that trusted the client's file name, an echo sample that sent binary as text, SNI, pre-request handler scope, stop() with WebSocket handlers, and the thread pool notes. - Restore the mutex in the LLM app's Chapter 5 code.

There's also a helper that checks whether the certificate covers a hostname. It follows the rules of TLS hostname verification: an IP address is matched against the IP address SANs, a name against the DNS SANs, and the CN is used only when there's no DNS SAN.

## SNI (Server Name Indication)
|
||||
|
||||
cpp-httplib handles SNI automatically. If one server hosts multiple domains, SNI is used under the hood — but normally handlers don't need to care.
|
||||
Clients send SNI automatically. On the server, `req.sni()` returns the name the client asked for. `SSLServer` presents the same certificate whatever that name is, though, so to host several domains on one server, use a certificate that covers all of them. To choose a certificate per name, hook into the TLS backend yourself — with OpenSSL, for example, set a servername callback through the `SSLServer` constructor that takes a context setup callback.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Warning:** `req.peer_cert()` only returns a meaningful value when mTLS is enabled and the client actually presented a certificate. For plain TLS, you get an empty `PeerCert`. Always do the `bool` check before using it.
