Nginx causes 301 redirect if there's no trailing slash

I'm running nginx in a Virtual Machine using NAT and I'm having redirection issues when I access it from the host machine. ### Works as expected - `http://localhost:8080/test/index.htm`: works. - `http://localhost:8080/test/`: works. ### Doesn't work as expected - `http://localhost:8080/test`: redirects to `http://localhost/test/` . This is ***not*** what I want. **(notice it strips the port number)** ### What I've tried Based on what I've googled, I tried `server_name_in_redirect off;` and `rewrite ^([^.]*[^/])$ $1/ permanent;`, both with no success. ### My default.conf: server { listen 80; server_name localhost; # server_name_in_redirect off; location / { root /usr/share/nginx/html; index index.html index.htm index.php; } location ~ \.php$ { # rewrite ^([^.]*[^/])$ $1/ permanent; root /usr/share/nginx/html; try_files $uri =404; #fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi_params; } error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; location = /50x.html { root /usr/share/nginx/html; } }
