MOZ Staff: Timeline for supporting SNI?

[Atomic-Object]

We have moved our blog to Amazon Web Services, and our website is soon to follow. For better or worse, AWS uses SNI, which MOZ doesn't currently support. Here are some recent forum posts about it:

• https://moz.com/community/q/804-server-error-crawling-https
• https://moz.com/community/q/804-https-ssl-error

This makes MOZ much, much less useful to me. MOZ staff, you have a timeline for when you'll implement support for SNI?

I've seen many people with SNI related issues. I am hoping Moz finds a way to work with it soon.

Hi Lisa!

We are already in the process of implementing SNI through writing a new crawler since we cannot simply update our existing one. This will take some time to build and I'm afraid I do not have an exact ETA for completion.

Thanks, David. Do you have an approximate ETA? 6 months? 2 years?

[MattRoney]

Hi Lisa! I'm afraid that at this point we really don't have any sort of ETA. It's definitely being worked on, though.

[Atomic-Object]

Hi, Matt. It's been a year; can you give me an ETA yet? MOZ is significantly less useful to us without this.

Hi Lisa!

We have been adding campaigns to our beta for SNI which is now active in recent weeks. You can sign up here: https://moz.com/community/q/moz-pro-our-web-crawler-and-sites-that-use-sni
