= How to redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS = 

 As of version 1.4.11 this is as simple simply as: 

 {{{ 
 $SERVER["socket"] == ":80" { 
   $HTTP["host"] =~ "example.org" { 
     url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "https://example.org/$1" ) 
     server.name                   = "example.org" 
   } 
 } 

 $SERVER["socket"] == ":443" { 
   ssl.engine = "enable" 
   ssl.pemfile = "/path/to/example.org.pem" 
   server.document-root = "..." 
 } 
 }}} 

 (Note: this also works in versions prior to 1.4.11 providing you have not specified {{{server.port = 80}}} in your configuration file.) 

 To redirect ''all'' hosts to their secure equivalents equivilents use the following in place of the socket 80 configuration above: 

 {{{ 
 $SERVER["socket"] == ":80" { 
   $HTTP["host"] =~ "(.*)" { 
     url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "https://%1/$1" ) 
   } 
 } 
 }}}
