By default, nginx 'cleanse' URI by decoding/correcting specific cases before matching it against a location. The multiple slashes are part of it. Read how location <http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#location> works.
I suppose the internal $uri <http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#var_uri> variable holds watch nginx uses for its logic, but in any case holds a decoded/corrected version of the URI. If you *do not* want nginx to automatically try to correct multiple slashes, you can override the default configuration for the corresponding merge_slashes <http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#merge_slashes> directive. Be careful then: your locations won't match if they do not find any exact stanza suitable for them. ;o) You will be up for the pain you asked for... --- *B.
