[solved] Trying to use a whitelist in tinyproxy

I want to use tinyproxy for whitelisting url-s.
It sort of works, but not for more complicated cases.
Here are the settings:

FilterDefaultDeny Yes
FilterExtended On
FilterURLs On
Filter "/etc/tinyproxy/whitelist"

The whitelist consists of a line:

.*tinyproxy.*

but banu.org/tinyproxy still gets filtered.
Lines like this work ok:

(www|wiki).archlinux.org

So, the regexp engine seems to be ok. Why can't I use detailed url patterns in the list? Any thoughts?

For the record, first I turned upstream for help, but the tinyproxy team is a small 2 persons team of developers, working on tinyproxy in their free time, I got no answer on IRC (yet).

Upstream's answer is the following:

09:25 < muks> SanskritFritz: banu.com uses HTTPS
09:25 < muks> you can't filter HTTPS traffic by URL
09:25 < muks> as the session is end-to-end encrypted
09:35 < SanskritFritz> muks: thanks, but how is then possible to filter banu.com?
09:35 < SanskritFritz> so, i can only filter by domain?
09:36 < muks> yes
