I'm trying to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS. The web server I'm using is nginx. This is the server block I'm using to do the redirect.

server {
    listen      80;
    rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}

This successfully redirects URLs like http://localhost to https://localhost. However, for URLs like http://localhost/table/ I get redirected to https://table which is incorrect. I would like it to re-direct to https://localhost/table/

Any help would be much appreciated.

Update: It seems that the rewrite scheme has a problem with trailing slashes. For example, http://localhost/table gets correctly redirected but http://localhost/table/ does not.
