Using nginx I want to preserve the url but actually load the same page no matter what I will use the url with History getState to route the requests in my javascript app It seems like it should be a simple thing to do location rewrite base html break works but redirects the url I still need the url I just want to always use the same page

nginx: send all requests to a single html page

I think this will do it for you:

location / {
    try_files /base.html =404;
}
