[Solved] Valid redirection to https by excluding a directory

I want to exclude the directory from redirection to https where Lets-Encrypt sends his code over http to proof the URL. Support told me, that this two examples are not correct syntax, but I have no better idea.
Maybe anyone has a solution for redirect all requests to https except one directory?

   $HTTP["host"] =~ "(domain.tld|www.domain.tld)"   {
   alias.url += ("/.well-known/acme-challenge/" => "/var/www/letsencrypt/.well-known/acme-challenge/")
   $HTTP["url"] !~ "^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/" {
      url.redirect-code = 301
      url.redirect = (".*" => "https://%0$0")
      }
   }

   $HTTP["host"] =~ "(domain.tld |www.domain.tld)"       {
   alias.url += ("/.well-known/acme-challenge/" => "/var/www/letsencrypt/.well-known/acme-challenge/")
   $HTTP["url"] !~ "^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/" {
       url.redirect-code = 301
       url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "https://%1:443/$1" )
    }

Repeating from #2892

Please see the documentation to understand why your syntax is invalid. Docs_ModRedirect

I think this syntax, which works in lighttpd 1.4.40 and later, will do what you're trying to do:

$HTTP["scheme"] == "http" {
  $HTTP["host"] =~ "(domain.tld|www.domain.tld)"       {
    url.redirect-code = 301
    url.redirect = ( "^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/" => "", # instead of (nonsensical) redirect loop, this matched url will not be modified
                     "^(.*)" => "https://%0$0" )
    alias.url += ("/.well-known/acme-challenge/" => "/var/www/letsencrypt/.well-known/acme-challenge/")
  }
}
else $HTTP["scheme"] == "https" {
  $HTTP["host"] =~ "(domain.tld|www.domain.tld)"       {
    alias.url += ("/.well-known/acme-challenge/" => "/var/www/letsencrypt/.well-known/acme-challenge/")
  }
}

The upcoming lighttpd 1.4.50 aims to add some syntactic sugar to make some of this even simpler.
