Lighttpd

Testing the lighttpd configuration (version 1.4.68) on the cmdline

lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf -tt

reports

2023-01-05 08:29:56: (mod_openssl.c.2532) ssl.pemfile is valid only in global scope or $SERVER["socket"] condition

if the ssl.pemfile is inside a $HTTP["host"] condition with a regular expression:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "^(abc|efg)\.ghi\.jk$" {
  ssl.pemfile = ...

According to the official documentation on https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Docs_SSL this is valid. Restarting lighttpd does NOT generate an entry in the error log file.

This seems to bo only an issue using the test config cmdline option.

I'm not sure, whether this is new in version 1.4.68 or existed before ...
