I'll ask upstream about it. As prosody is written and configured in Lua,
everything should be possible.

I guess so, but I lost all my Apache knowledge some years ago. I use
nginx on my private Jabber server to disentangle various TLS protocols
all on the same port 443:

stream {
	map $ssl_preread_alpn_protocols $upstream {
		default httpserver;
		"xmpp-client" xmppserver;
		"stun.turn" turnserver;
		"stun.nat-discovery" turnserver;
	}
}

sslh can do that, too, but I'm not sure about the syntax. Also, I
remember rumours, that nginx were somehow "better" than sslh for that
task. I can check that in the XMPP operators groups chat.

Sure!

Cheers, Martin
