Redirecting to same page in case of resource not found - Nginx

I have an use case where if page is refreshed, it should redirect back to the same page. For example
let's say I am on example.come/user/123. Now if I refresh the page, I should be redirected to same example.come/user/123 page. Following is part of my nginx configuration

server_name example.com ;
location /
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;


# define error page
error_page 404 = @notfound;

# error page location redirect 301
location @notfound
return 301 /;
# return 200 https://$host$request_uri;



This configuration returns me to my home page which is example.com. I understand how this redirection is working. But is it possible to redirect back to the same page from where page refresh was done?

I tried

return 200 https://$host$request_uri;


It redirects me to same page (example.com/user/123) but also automatically downloads a text document which contains url of the page.

example.com/user/123

Any help would be highly appreciated.
