How do I redirect all http request to https using lighttpd?

I have a proxy rule in my configuration where all request from http://ift.tt/1kmXkqH is "redirected" to localhost:8080. This has been working fine except that sometimes when I submit a form on myapp, it uses http instead of https thus causing problems (i.e. I get a "no data received"). myapp uses port 8080 as it's working port. I only use 8081 as the SSL port.

These are my settings to get the proxy thing happening.

$SERVER["socket"] == ":8081" {
        ssl.engine = "enable"
        ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/yomi.pem"
        # Restrict access to only those users in the digest.txt file
        $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/myapp*" {
                auth.require = ( "" =>
                (
                        "method" => "digest",
                        "realm" => "MyWebInterface",
                        "require" => "valid-user"
                ) )
                proxy.debug = 1
                proxy.server = ( "" =>
                ( (
                        "host" => "127.0.0.1",
                        "port" => 8080
                ) )
                )
        }
}

I tried following this guide but I still get the problem. I put the code in example 1 just before $HTTP["url"] without any luck. I tried putting it before $SERVER["socket"] without any progress either.

Can you please help so I can fix my issue? thanks very much
