nginx redirecting for no reason?

Question

This was really annoying and now i see when it happens. If <ip>/NAME exist in /var/www (/var/www/NAME) nginx will give me a redirect to www._.com/NAME/ (note the slash and lack of url) which is annoying and just wrong. If the url ends with a / it will check the index and serve index.html

How do i either make it give me an error page or add a / to the end of it?

server {

    listen   80; ## listen for ipv4
    listen   [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

    server_name  _;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/localhost.access.log;
    root   /var/www;

    location / {
        root   /var/www;
        index  index.php index.html index.htm;
    }

    location /doc {
        root   /usr/share;
        autoindex on;
        allow 127.0.0.1;
        deny all;
    }

    location /images {
        root   /usr/share;
        autoindex on;
    }

}

Answer 1

server_name_in_redirect off; will tell nginx to use the request's Host: header instead of the first server_name argument when generating redirects.
