something is nginx location (/s

Answer 1

From nginx docs:

A location can either be defined by a prefix string, or by a regular expression. Regular expressions are specified with the preceding “~*” modifier (for case-insensitive matching), or the “~” modifier (for case-sensitive matching).

So ~* in location must be used for case insensitive matching.

location ~* /something/ {
    # your code here
}
