Probably your configuration is similar to

      location /Path/To/ {
          fastcgi_pass ...
      }

then nginx does such redirect for "/Path/To".
In my practice it's handy feature. However, if you do not need it,
then you should use:

      location = /Path/To {
          fastcgi_pass ...
      }

      location /Path/To/ {
          fastcgi_pass ...
      }
