Description

Hi, I’m trying do redirect all requests from http to https on a citrine
virtual host and I get error, part for ssl is correctly configured, I
don’t get errors when I start lighttpd, this is a part of me
configuration file:


$HTTP["host"] == "something.my-domain.org" {
    server.document-root = "/var/www/htdocs/lm-sensors" 
    url.redirect  = ("http://something.my-domain.org/" => 
"https://something.my-domain.org/",)
    auth.backend               = "plain" 
    auth.backend.plain.userfile = "/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.user" 
    auth.require               = ( "/" =>
                               (
                                 "method"  => "digest",
                                 "realm"   => "LM_sensors",
                                 "require" => "valid-user" 
                               )
                             )
}

This works on firefox, but not on IE 6, I use lighttpd 1.4.16

1) if you get an error, include it in the bug-report
2) the url.redirect takes a relative URL


url.redirect  = ("^/" => "https://something.my-domain.org/")

Hi, if I use url.redirect = ("^/" => "https://something.my-domain.org/")
in submitted configuration browser goes in to loop trying to view page.

i appreciate that a bug is high priority just because you cant read the docs. the link is http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/HowToRedirectHttpToHttps.
what you want is


$SERVER["socket"] == ":443" {
  # your ssl stuff here
  server.document-root = "/var/www/htdocs/lm-sensors" 
  auth.backend = "plain" 
  auth.backend.plain.userfile = "/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.user" 
  auth.require = ( "/" =>
                   (
                       "method"  => "digest",
                       "realm"   => "LM_sensors",
                       "require" => "valid-user" 
                     )
                   )
}
else $HTTP["host"] == "something.my-domain.org" {
  url.redirect  = (".*" => "https://something.my-domain.org$0",)
}

the important part is the "else" in front of the $HTTPhost line.
