Description (last modified by Jacob)

It appears that lighttpd will IGNORE mod_rewrite rules within blocks using $HTTP["url"] to match on URLs (a fairly common thing to do to redirect to HTTPS for example). In order to do that you must NOT use $HTTP["url"], for example using "host" will work:

$HTTP["url"] =~ "/login" {
    url.redirect = "https://....../login"
} else $HTTP["host"] ~= ".*" {
    fastcgi.server = ....
}

I think the docs should be updated to reflect this as it will save others horrible headaches.
