Description

No error is given at startup, and lighttpd times out on HTTPS requests with this config:

$SERVER["socket"] == ":443" {
    $HTTP["host"] == "my.host.net" {
        ssl.engine = "enable" 
        ssl.use-sslv2 = "disable" 
        ssl.use-sslv3 = "disable" 
        ssl.cipher-list = "EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES128+EECDH:AES128+EDH" 
        ssl.pemfile = "cert.pem" 
        ssl.ca-file = "fullchain.pem" 
    }
}

It does NOT hang when a cert is set at the socket-level:

$SERVER["socket"] == ":443" {
    ssl.engine = "enable" 
    ssl.use-sslv2 = "disable" 
    ssl.use-sslv3 = "disable" 
    ssl.cipher-list = "EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES128+EECDH:AES128+EDH" 
    ssl.pemfile = "cert2.pem" 
    ssl.ca-file = "fullchain2.pem" 

    $HTTP["host"] == "my.host.net" {
        ssl.pemfile = "cert.pem" 
        ssl.ca-file = "fullchain.pem" 
    }
}

I would expect an error to be printed at startup if the first configuration is invalid.

Seems like some warnings are in order.

More than a few ssl.* directives makes sense only when configured on the $SERVER["socket"], including ssl.engine = "enable"
