I've got a rewrite rule in my nginx config file to convert from an old URL to a new one, but the new URL has a hash string in it, and it doesn't seem to be possible to get nginx to rewrite that without encoding it.

The relevant rewrite rule is this:

location /contact/dmes/term {
rewrite "/contact/dmes/term/(.*)" "/#term=$1";
}

This then goes through the following proxy:

location / {
proxy_pass_header Server;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_pass http://tornado;
}

The URL that the proxied http server gets is this (as it appears in the log):

WARNING:root:404 GET /%23term=14/ (127.0.0.1) 0.30ms

Is there some way to disable this behavior? Have I violated some terrifying taboo? Thanks for any advice/flames!
