[webpy] How to redirect HTTP to HTTPS on lighttpd?

[Tae Sandoval Murgan]

Hi there:

I'm trying to deploy an app over lighttpd and encrypt all the traffic,
so I followed the web.py documentation to set up lighttpd+FastCGI, and
it works well over HTTPS, but as soon I try to visit http://localhost
or simply localhost, lighttpd redirect to https://localhost, but with
index.py appended to it, which triggers a Not Found error.

I tried moving some stuff around, but I can't get how to do the
redirect well, so I really need help. Here's the relevant stuff of my
lighttpd.conf

server.modules = (
    "mod_fastcgi",
    "mod_redirect",
    "mod_rewrite"
)

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

$SERVER["socket"] == ":443" {
    ssl.engine = "enable"
    ssl.pemfile = "certificate.pem"
    ssl.use-sslv2 = "disable"
    ssl.use-sslv3 = "disable"
}

fastcgi.server = (
    "index.py" => ((
        "socket" => "/tmp/app.socket",
        "bin-path" => "index.py",
        "max-procs" => 1,
        "bin-environment" => (
            "REAL_SCRIPT_NAME" => ""
        ),
        "check-local" => "disable"
    ))
)

url.rewrite-once = (
    "^/favicon.ico$" => "/static/assets/favicon.ico",
    "^/static/(.*)$" => "/static/$1",
    "^/(.*)$" => "/index.py/$1"
)

Thanks beforehand.
