But the solution below will not work due to the fact that most browser 
add a trailing / if there is none.
Mybe the customer want to redirect to a 'index-page'?

e.g.: index.php, index.do or to a *_pass?

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#location
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_rewrite_module.html#return

location = / {
     # this will work for curl but for browsers?!
     return 301 http://example.com;
}
