I've been adding SNI support to the MongoDB Ruby driver and I've had to use the hostname attribute of a SSLSocket. It's not in the documentation but I think it should be so that others can find out how to added SNI support as well.

Here is how I'm using the hostname attribute, for your reference: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-ruby-driver/pull/815/files

Thank you for reporting! There are already RDoc comments but it looks like RDoc couldn't find them.

Now they show up in the generated HTML:

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#servername_cb: http://ruby.github.io/openssl/OpenSSL/SSL/SSLContext.html#attribute-i-servername_cb
OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#hostname=: http://ruby.github.io/openssl/OpenSSL/SSL/SSLSocket.html#method-i-hostname-3D
