Setting up subsonic subdomain with SSL

[nicuveo]

Hi all!

I'm a recent (and enthusiastic!) user of subsonic. However, I have a few questions regarding the .subsonic.org subdomain and SSL. Let me explain...

I now use my own SSL certificate, and modified the configuration file to have "--port=0 --httpsPort=4242". This works just fine. However, when I try to setup my subdomain.subsonic.org, it registers as <ip>:4242. The issue is that "http://<subdomain>.subsonic.org" gets translated to "http://<ip>:4242" ; without https, and even when I manage to trick subsonic to auto-redirect to https, the domain name is not in the URL, which makes my SSL certificate unhappy.

So, I tried to trick subsonic; I switched my configuration to "--port=4241", logged in without SSL, set my subdomain (now redirecting to port 4241). I reverted my configuration, and installed a redirection from all requests on http://<ip>:4241 to https://<realdomain>:4242, using lighttpd. This worked just fine, at first.

However, at some point, subsonic decided to overwrite my configuration, therefore redirecting <subdomain>.subsonic.org to <ip>:0. Which obviously does not work that well.

Long story short: how can I setup my subsonic subdomain from OUTSIDE of subsonic? And is there a way to do so by specifying a domain name rather than an IP?
