lighttpd forum lighty > Problems with nested conditionals

I have a problem with nested conditionals in my lighty config. The 
following works:

$HTTP["url"] !~ "^/(resources/|static/|favicon.ico)" {
  scgi.server = (
    [...]
  )
}

I.e. for every URL path not starting with of the given paths the request 
is passed to the SCGI server. But in the process to introduce different 
host names which should be handled by different SCGI servers, I started 
by adding nested conditional like this:

$HTTP["url"] !~ "^/(resources/|static/|favicon.ico)" {
  $HTTP["host"] = "^myhost.com" {
    scgi.server = (
      [...]
    )
  }
}

(In a second step I would add an "else" clause to the inner conditional 
for the other host name.) But this doesn't work: Now *every* request is 
passed to the SCGI server with the result, that static files are not 
delivered. Seems like the outer conditional isn't respected at all.

What am I doing wrong?

This should read "=~" not "=" (This was a copy&paste&edit error of mine, 
so that's not causing the problem described above).

Regards, Johannes.

There's a ticket with a similar problem:

    http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/ticket/41 with a similar problem

(URL and host conditional nested the other way round). But this bug was 
fixed a long time ago.

Anyway, I just updated my lighttpd version to 1.4.13 but it didn't make 
any difference. :-/

Doesn't work for me either, but I'm still thrilled getting WebDAV to 
work under OSX (don't know what's going on with XP).  Having this fixed 
would be seriously cool.

OK, since you can confirm this, I've reopened the ticket:
