Recently i had an issue using Gatling with an apache server.
I found out that it had to do with having SNI (Server name indication) strict mode on in Apache, which means that if a client does not support it, Apache will return a 403 Forbidden error for any request made.
I believe this is probably a configuration on netty, but my knowledge of scala is near zero (at least for now).
I solved this problem by temporarily disabling that configuration on Apache, but i was wondering if anyone else had the same problem?
Is there anything i can do on Gatling to enable SNI (in case i dont have config access to a server i want to load test)?

I forgot to mention that this was on Gatling 2.0.0

Have you tried configuring a virtualHost on the HttpProtocol?
http.

.virtualHost(“theHost”)
