Redirect all pages but one in Lighttpd

How can I redirect all pages but one to HTTPS on my lighttpd web server? I came up with the following, but it still redirects "/report.cgi" - I assume because the second redirect condition overrides the first:

# redirect HTTP
server.modules += ( "mod_redirect" )
$HTTP["scheme"] == "http" {
    $HTTP["host"] =~ ".*" {
        url.redirect = (
           "^/report\.cgi$" => "http://%0$0",
           "^/.*$" => "https://%0$0"
        )
    }
}

I need this since embedded devices should be able to contact my web server over HTTP.

Solution

  • Thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/a/3522147/3415618, I came up with the following solution:

    # redirect HTTP
server.modules += ( "mod_redirect" )
$HTTP["scheme"] == "http" {
    $HTTP["host"] =~ ".*" {
        url.redirect = (
            "^/(?!report.cgi).*" => "https://%0$0"
        )
    }
}
