fcgi, ssl and django, redirect HTTP to HTTPS
Added by jmat over 13 years ago
I have a django site setup with lighttpd and ssl working but I can not seem to get a redirect to work from http to https. My setup is very similar to: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/fastcgi/#lighttpd-setup and I'm using lighttpd/1.4.26 on ubuntu
Basically my setup looks something like this:
$HTTP["host"] =~ "myhost.com" { server.document-root = "/home/myvenv/blah" fastcgi.server = ( "/blah.fcgi" => ( ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 16666, "check-local" => "disable", "max-procs" => 4, "min-procs" => 4, ) ) ) url.rewrite-once = ( "^(/favicon.ico.*)$" => "/$1", "^(/admin_media.*)$" => "/$1", "^(/media.*)$" => "/$1", "^(/.*)$" => "/blah.fcgi$1", ) expire.url = ( "/favicon.ico" => "access 1 seconds", "/admin_media" => "access 1 seconds", "/media" => "access 1 seconds", ) }
I want to add this to do my http to https redirect:
$SERVER["socket"] == ":80" { $HTTP["host"] =~ "(.*)" { url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "https://%1/$1" ) } }
The problem is when I enable the redirect, my url gets rewritten like:
https://myhost.com/blah.fcgi/my/path/to/blah
putting in the blah.fcgi part when I really just want:
https://myhost.com/my/path/to/blah
Much thanks in adavance.

I got an answer for this on stackoverlow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8331567/fcgi-ssl-and-django-redirect-http-to-https
It really was me just not thinking about regexing the rewrite part.
I'm wondering though, why does the rewrite happen before the redirect?
