Lighttpd

Hello.

I'm trying to use lighttpd as a HTTPS frontend to a non-secure website that is on my home network.

it's like this: web <=> router (port properly forwarded) <=> lighttpd via https <=> my non-secure website.

But it's not working. I get the lighttpd login prompt but when I get passed that step, the URL in the browser changes to http. I am very sure the URL that I type is using HTTPS.

any ideas what could I be doing wrong?

Thanks a lot

here's a snippet of my conf file. The realm "PWebInterface" is the one I am trying to fix. "ZWebInterface" works as is. It doesn't require additional configuration. I only added the part "redirect https to http" for "PWebInterface".

#redirect all request to https
$HTTP["scheme"] == "http" {
        $HTTP["host"] =~ ".*" {
                url.redirect = (".*" => "https://%0$0")
        }
}

$SERVER["socket"] == ":6666" {
        ssl.engine = "enable" 
        ssl.pemfile = "/usr/local/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.pem" 
        $HTTP["url"] =~ "" {
                auth.require = ( "" =>
                        (
                                "method" => "digest",
                                "realm" => "PWebInterface",
                                "require" => "valid-user" 
                        )
                )
                proxy.debug = 1
                proxy.server = ( "" => 
                        (
                                ( 
                                        "host" => "127.0.0.1",
                                        "port" => 6665
                                )
                        )
                )
        }
}
