Lighttpd: full site with SSL with exception of a url / path / directory

Well.. perhaps you need SSL in your site but you want to exclude a concrete path / url. This is my config:

	# When http then https but no redirect for "knowledgebase" path
	$HTTP["scheme"] == "http" {
	$HTTP["host"] =~ "secure.site.com" {
	url.redirect = ( "^/(?!(knowledgebase).*)" => "https://secure.site.com/$1" )
	server.document-root = "/site/secure"
	}
	}
	#behavior for SSL
	$HTTP["scheme"] == "https" {
	$HTTP["host"] =~ "^secure\.site\.com" {
	ssl.engine = "enable"
	server.document-root = "/site/secure"
	server.max-keep-alive-idle = 3
	}
	#if "knowledgebase" is accessed from inside of the SSL site then exit to http!
	$HTTP["url"] =~ "knowledgebase" {
	setenv.add-environment = ( "HTTPS" => "off" )
	ssl.engine = "disable"
	url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "http://secure.site.com/$1" )
	}
	}
