Description (last modified by )
It would be great to be able to specify intermediate certs separately, just makes updating of the cert easier. Almost any application supports specifying cert separately.
Create new config option or maybe allow "ssl_certificate" to be specified multiple times?

Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
The certificate chain is more or less an integral part of a particular certificate, it should be kept and returned to clients along with the certificate itself. Using a single directive (and a single file) to specify both the certificate and the certificate chain is believed to be easier and less error prone, especially when using multiple certificates of different types.
Note well that updating of a certificate might require updating the chain as well, even if the certificate authority wasn't changed.
