Various browsers[1][2] are dropping support for wild card certificates which are anything but a single "*" alone in the left most position. The other style wildcards were deprecated previously and they should not appear in any public certificate and in the words of the Chrome project are "dang weird for internal certificates".

I believe we should follow suite and just only allow a single "*" alone in the left most segment for the SSL handling code.
