Why is Nginx malforming redirects for IP URLS without a trailing slash?

Requests to a URL of type 10.11.13.7/admin/ work as intended.

However a request for 10.11.13.7/admin (minus the trailing slash) attempts to redirect to 10.11.13.7,10.11.13.7/admin/ which I am assuming is NGINX trying to redirect to a URL with a trailing slash but failing for some reason.

To further confound things requests I make to mysite.dev/admin (mysite.dev is an entry in my local hosts file) redirect as expected, not failing as mysite.dev,mysite.dev/admin/ which I would have suspected.

My site.conf is very minimal:

server {
        listen  80 default_server;

        server_name  mysite.dev www.mysite.dev;
        root /vagrant;

        client_max_body_size 64M;

        location / {

            include proxy_params;
            proxy_pass http://unix:/tmp/gunicorn.sock;

            proxy_set_header      Host             $host;
            proxy_set_header      X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header      X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

        }

}

I suspect NGINX is the culprit and not an internal redirect issue with the application as running the app with the django manage.py development server doesn't have this issue.

Thanks.

The problem ended up being

include proxy_params;

had a statement that wasn't being accounted for, setting a header that caused the software to have a fit.
