I've read this article about TLS Origination problem in istio. Let me quote it here:

There is a caveat to this story. In HTTPS, all the HTTP details (hostname, path, headers etc.) are encrypted, so Istio cannot know the destination domain of the encrypted requests. Well, Istio could know the destination domain by the SNI (Server Name Indication) field. This feature, however, is not yet implemented in Istio. Therefore, currently Istio cannot perform filtering of HTTPS requests based on the destination domains.

I want to understand, what does the bold statement really mean? Because, I've tried this:

• Downloaded the istio-1.0.0 here to get the samples yaml code.

• kubectl apply -f <(istioctl kube-inject -f samples/sleep/sleep.yaml)

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
    name: sleep
    labels:
    app: sleep
spec:
    ports:
    - port: 80
    name: http
    selector:
    app: sleep
---
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
    name: sleep
spec:
    replicas: 1
    template:
    metadata:
        labels:
        app: sleep
    spec:
        containers:
        - name: sleep
        image: tutum/curl
        command: ["/bin/sleep","infinity"]
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent

• And apply this ServiceEntry

apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: ServiceEntry
metadata:
    name: cnn
spec:
    hosts:
    - "*.cnn.com"
    ports:
    - number: 80
    name: http-port
    protocol: HTTP
    - number: 443
    name: https-port
    protocol: HTTPS
    resolution: NONE

• And exec this curl command inside the pod

export SOURCE_POD=$(kubectl get pod -l app=sleep -o jsonpath={.items..metadata.name})
kubectl exec -it $SOURCE_POD -c sleep -- curl -s -o /dev/null -D - https://edition.cnn.com/politics

As you can see, I can access the edition.cnn.com with HTTPS (ssl) protocol. Am I misunderstand the bold statement meaning?
