Developing static files on the local filesystem I use index.html instead of / for the home page.
When I push them to the remote server I want http://domain.com/index.html to be redirected to http://domain.com/ for SEO reasons.
I've Googled but the best I seem to be able to achieve is a redirect loop. What do I need to do?

Here are my failed rules :

# rewrite ^index.html$ $scheme://domain.com/ permanent;
# rewrite /index.html $scheme://domain.com/ permanent;
# location = /index.html {
# rewrite ^(.*) $scheme://domain.com/ permanent;
# }

Thanks.
