Lighttpd

http://url.com/example redirects (301) to https://url.com/example is not working for me

VERSION: lighttpd 1.3.16-2, Fedora Core 4
using simple-vhost
ssl working fine for normal calls
redirects are working fine for normal calls
----------------------------------------------------------
server.bind = "localhost"
$SERVERsocket == "192.168.0.2:80" {
url.redirect = ( "^/sec/.*$" => "https://www.whatever.com/sec/" )
}

This does not redirect http=>https but simply calls the http version instead
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
