A new server feature "sni-auto" has been introduced recently. The objective is to automatically set the SNI value to the host header if no SNI is explicitely set. 668916c1a2fc2180028ae051aa805bb71c7b690b MEDIUM: server/ssl: Base the SNI value to the HTTP host header by default There is an issue with it : server SNI is currently always overwritten, even if explicitely set in the configuration file. Adjust check_config_validity() to ensure the default value is only used if <sni_expr> is NULL. This issue was detected as a memory leak on <sni_expr> was reported when SNI is explicitely set on a server line. This patch is related to github feature request #3081. No need to backport, unless the above patch is.
