Yes, you are going to need perl. If you are using Ubuntu, instead of apt-get install nginx-full, use apt-get install nginx-extras, which will have the embedded perl module. Then, in your configuration file:
http {
...
# Include the perl module
perl_modules perl/lib;
...
# Define this function
perl_set $uri_lowercase 'sub {
my $r = shift;
my $uri = $r->uri;
$uri = lc($uri);
return $uri;
}';
...
server {
...
# As your first location entry, tell nginx to rewrite your uri,
# if the path contains uppercase characters
location ~ [A-Z] {
rewrite ^(.*)$ $scheme://$host$uri_lowercase;
}
...
i managed to achieve the goal using embedded perl:
location ~ [A-Z] {
perl 'sub { my $r = shift; $r->internal_redirect(lc($r->uri)); }';
}
location ~*^/test/ {
return 301 http://www.example.com/test;
}
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).

location /dupa/ {
set_by_lua $request_uri_low "return ngx.arg[1]:lower()" $request_uri;
rewrite ^ https://$host$request_uri_low;
}
Based on Adam's answer, I ended up using lua, as it's available on my server.
set_by_lua $request_uri_low "return ngx.arg[1]:lower()" $request_uri;
if ($request_uri_low != $request_uri) {
set $redirect_to_lower 1;
}
if (!-f $request_uri) {
set $redirect_to_lower "${redirect_to_lower}1";
}
if ($redirect_to_lower = 11) {
rewrite . https://$host$request_uri_low permanent;
}
