Trailing Slash Redirect Loop Help

[Alex Med]

Dear Francis: 

What I am perceiving from your answers is that if nginx can not know with
(!-d or the try_files) that the uri is a directory or a file, there is not
much it can do about not removing slashes from the uris it gets.

Is there a way to tell nginx that if it gets a "/" from the upstream to
leave it the way it is? I guess I will give up the idea of having all urls
without a trailing slash. 

Regards, 

Alex 

P.S. I will look into having the APP remove the trailing slash since it
should know better what it is a directory or a file.
