In the URL provided "#/dashboard/ui.json" is a fragment, and will
not be sent to the server.

This is syntactically incorrect and will cause syntax error due to
space in it.

If the "#" above is just a typo, then you can use something like
this to disable caching of *.json files within "/foldername":

location /foldername {
proxy_pass ...

location ~ \.json$ {
expires epoch;
proxy_pass ...
}
}

Note that:

- the "~" is important as it marks regex location, see
http://nginx.org/r/location for details;

- proxy_pass have to be repeated in the nested location.

More about locations can be found in the documentation, see
http://nginx.org/r/location.
