Another way to approach this could be to change your code. It would make
it more efficient (avoiding one http redirect each time); but the real
reason to do it is to work around the particular nginx issue.

That is, where you currently have

===
class NavButton extends Component {
    handleModuleNav = action => {
        let to = "/" + action;
        window.location = to;
    };

    render = () => {
        return (
          <div onClick={() => this.handleModuleNav("admin")}>
             GO TO ADMIN
          </div>
        )
    }
}
===

the intention is to make a request for "/admin". You could change that
so that it make a request for "/admin/"; either by changing one line to be

        let to = "/" + action + "/";

or by changing another to be

          <div onClick={() => this.handleModuleNav("admin/")}>

Either of those changes would avoid nginx having to tell the client
to switch from /admin to /admin/. It would not fix the general case,
but that might not matter for your specific case.

Good luck with it,
