127 — Relative URL in Chrome

• issue found in http://lekkyweb.com/blogs
• works well in FireFox.
• Chrome: http://lekkyweb.com/127-relative-url-ticket.html
• FF: http://lekkyweb.com/blogs/127-relative-url-ticket.html
• but works in Chrome if called with tailing slash : http://lekkyweb.com/blogs/
• Looks like Chrome it is at root level, not in /blogs.
• index.html is automatically added by linodeobjects. (AWS/S3)

The FIX : a rewrite in Nginx.

location / {
   proxy_http_version 1.1;
  rewrite ^([^.]*[^/])$ $1/ permanent;
   proxy_set_header  Host website-us-east-1.linodeobjects.com;
   proxy_pass        https://website-us-east-1.linodeobjects.com/lekky2.0/;
 }
