Maybe not. The sample session in my first post shows that something
works. My hg repository is also available over http, so maybe the
client is completely ignoring the https prefix, and doing everything
over plain http? Unfortunately the server logs don't show if a request
was done through https or not.

Shrug... Obviously, me neither.

Well, hgwebdir is just a cgi script -- lighttpd doesn't make a
connection to it, just executes (with the appropriate CGI semantics).
Maybe the https detection logic in hgwebdir is somewhat faulty? I have
no idea…
