I'm afraid I still don't fully understand what specific problem you
are reporting.

However, from later in your mail, it appears that the # may not be
fully relevant.

Can you show one specific request that you make, and show the response
that you get, and indicate how it is different from the response that you
want? That might make it possible for someone else to repeat the issue,
which might make it easier to identify the solution.

Can you describe that in terms of http requests, perhaps made using the
"curl" command line client?

If you look in the access logs of nginx and the upstream for these
requests, do you see the # character appearing at all?

Good luck with it,
