Redirect /it to /

Hi,

I need to hide /it Query portion for SEO request in a django-cms setup.

I tryed with::

location /it {
  if ($request_method = 'GET') {
    rewrite ^/it(/?.*) https://my.domain.it$1 ;
  }
}
location / {
    uwsgi_pass  preprod;
    include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params;
}

everything works corectly BUT authentication (that is a POST to
/it/). My impression is that ‘location /it’ doesn’t handle a POST and it
doesn’t fall back to the more general ‘location /’. Is it correct?
What it the std way to achieve a redirect just in case of a GET request?

Thanks in advance
