Yep. It stopped once I removed the bogus vhost config. After some
pondering I'm now afraid that your tests may now pass more or less
accidentally, as by pure coincidence the devuan mirror vhost has
become the first config to be included. Sure, there is an easy way
to make that permanent, but that would still be just papering over
the underlying issue.

Good news.

Uh, is Lua really the right choice then? Just a thought, as I haven't
dug into what other frameworks offer in this regard (Python, Go, ...).
Sorry I can't be of much help here. (FWIW, presented with the task I
probably would've coded in C, but that'd be just me having fun shooting
my own foot. ;-P)

Not really surprising, as the numeric address does not match the domain
name the certificate was issued for.

Good plan. Naively I would have thought it'd simply fail, as I never
expect a hostname mismatch in an HTTPS request to just work without
taking special care, like correctly setting up the SNI server_name
parameter for the TLS negotiation, however this is usually one - my
knowledge is quite limited in this area.

It's a chilly 9°C here, now I'd like to trade places for a day. ;-D
