In the ssh protocol, the server sends a banner first. For HTTPS, the client sends certificate data first. How is it possible to run these 2 services on the same port without changing the client?

The link he gave is a custom multiplexing daemon that handles those cases. A timeout value is used to connect to the SSH daemon if the server hasn't received anything from the client.

I've done the same thing to set up a "SVN-or-git repository" on a machine on which I only had my own shell account. Fortunately, that never made it to production.
