how to make nginx location match path both with slash and without slash?

Question

currently i have this location in my nginx file, it does not work with http://mydomain/ab/cd. How can i make the browser to go to the same page when user type both http://mydomain/ab/cd and http://mydomain/ab/cd/?

location /ab/cd/ {
}

Answer 1

The fastest, in terms of performance, is simply two exact locations:

location = /ab/cd {
   ...
}

location = /ab/cd/ {
   ...
}
