Rails. TinyMCE ImageUpload is requesting GET instead of POST as in Development - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am working on rails using TinyMCE Imageupload.
It works just fine in Development (funny enough it used to work also in Production). The problem is that on production it issues the wrong GET request:
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/at/tinymce_assets"):
Two issues here: Firstly - it puts a locale in front, secondly it uses a GET request.
On development however it works fine:
Started POST "/tinymce_assets" for 127.0.0.1 at 2015-09-27 02:33:10 +0200
Processing by TinymceAssetsController#create as HTML
My routes.rb looks like this:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
root to: 'static_pages#redirect'
localized do
match '', to: 'static_pages#welcome', :as => 'welcome', via: 'get'
... lots of other stuff ...
end
match '*path', to: redirect("/#{I18n.locale}/%{path}"), constraints: lambda { |req| !req.path.starts_with? "/#{I18n.default_locale}/" }, via: 'get'
post '/tinymce_assets/' => 'tinymce_assets#create', :trailing_slash => false
end
I am adding here the :trailing_slash => false - as it is set to true in environment.rb
Question:
Why does the production to site decide to fire a GET request + adding the locale, but the development does everything its supposed to do? Where can I set this behaviour ?
UPDATE - ADDING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
After placing the post above my localized section I still get the same error - here the full trace:

If I add uploadimage_form_url: "/tinymce_assets" (again the post is on top) the same happens, except that it is now looking for the localized version:

Answer 1

Solution to the problem:
As I am rewriting and existing site and must keep the URL standards I have to keep the trailing slashes (which I do in Rails).
In my nginx site configuration I rewrote the URL's with a trailing slash, which for some reason turned into a two day masacre of narrowing down the issue.
Removing the trailing slash in the URL rewrite in nginx configuration
file solved the issue.
No jQuery sends POST requests again instead of GET requests !
Here for nginx (froala & tiny_mce and whatever you may use):
#Rewrite all URLs with missing slash and no period
location / {
rewrite ^([^.]*[^/])$ $1/ permanent;
}
#Keep your post url untouched
location /froala_upload {
rewrite $1 permanent;
}
location /tinymce_assets {
rewrite $1 permanent;
}

Answer 2

You should swap the last match '*path' line and the post '/tinymce_assets/' line. That will probably take care of it, or at least get you a bit further.
Routes in Rails match from the top, so match '*path' matches a POST to /tinymce_assets, sees it doesn't have a locale added, and does the redirect, via GET. Your application never reaches the line for post '/tinymce_assets'.
