When you request "http://shell.example.com/uri", this will redirect to
"https://shell.*/uri", which is probably not what you want.

Use (for example) $host instead of $server_name.

Or (possibly better) use shell.raspi.dyndns.com instead of $server_name.

Use "curl -i" to make the http request. See the response.
