Overriding default 'missing trailing slash' behavior

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

Is there a way to override the default behavior of how nginx handles
directory
redirecting?
At present is does the equivalent of:
rewrite $scheme://$first_server_name/$request_uri/ permanent

I tried overriding:
location = /software {
root /path/to/webroot
rewrite $scheme://$http_host/software/ redirect;
}

But it doesn’t even get there, as the log shows a 301 rather then a 302
with
the wrong host.
This is a problem for me, as the same site should be accessible from
within
and outside the network, using different hostnames. Two of these
hostnames
don’t exist outside the network.

This is just incorrect rewrite, you probably mean

rewrite ^ $scheme://$http_host/software/ redirect;

instead. But see below.
