Jekyll Nginx Rewrite Rules

I use permalink: pretty which create for each post a folder with a index.html. This creates nice urls like this /2015/04/22/htaccess-proxy. But last time I cheked my error logs I saw a few peoples who tried urls like this: /2015/04/22/htaccess-proxy.html. So I thought why not redirect this urls. Of course I'm not the first person with this problem, I found two blog post on which I based my solution.

• vec.io/posts/jekyll-clean-urls-with-nginx
• rickharrison.me/how-to-remove-trailing-slashes-from-jekyll-urls-using-nginx

My solution:

server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  l33tsource.com www.l33tsource.com;

        rewrite ^/index.html$ / redirect;
        rewrite ^(/.+)/index.html$ $1 redirect;
    
        if ($request_uri ~* ".html") {
            rewrite (?i)^(.*)/(.*)\.html $1/$2 redirect;
        }

        location / {
            rewrite ^/(.*) /$1 break;
            proxy_pass http://blog;
        }
}

If you have any problems or find broken urls, just write me.

###Update

For some weird reason all these redirection foo doesn't work when the blog upstream not on port 80 is.
