nginx serving static files doesn't work properly with comma character

Question

Summary: Static files are publishing in /path/to/root , If the request is not in the static folders, the request sending @a1 location block.

Static files;

/path/to/root/folder/folder1,111/index.html

/path/to/root/folder/folder1-111/index.html

Configuration

location / {
   root /path/to/root;
   error_page 418 = @a1;

if ($request_uri ~ .*.sort.*) { return 418; }

   try_files $request_uri $request_uri/index.html $uri.html @a1;
   add_header X-debug-static-1 "$request_uri" always;
}

location @a1 {
    add_header X-debug-web "$request_uri" always;
    include web.conf;
   }

Note: web.conf going to app

static serving doesn't work, because folder name have "," character

curl -I https://www.example.com/folder/folder1,111

static serving works, because folder name doesn't have "," character

curl -I https://www.example.com/folder/folder1-111

Q-1 https://www.example.com/folder/folder1,111 Why this request still going to @a1 location? Whereas the folder in path/to/root. So, how can I publish folders with commas in filenames from static files?

Q-2 How can I send request_uri to @a1 if the query_string contains some words?

Example;

words: sort,q,page

If the request_uri have any words from the above, send to @a1. If not, publish to the from static files.

Don't use `$request_uri` with `try_files`, use `$uri` instead. The latter is normalised, URL encoded characters are decoded and the query string has been stripped off. See [this link](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#try_files) — Richard Smith, Dec 01 '17 at 12:23
Actually I think this isn't about $uri or $request_uri. I did **location ^~ /** and https://www.example.com/folder/folder1,111 works. — Abdullah Ceylan, Dec 01 '17 at 14:33
BTW, only index.html serving but not index.js with this configuration. https://www.example.com/folder/folder1,111/index.html is works but https://www.example.com/folder/folder1,111/index.js isn't working. Why? — Abdullah Ceylan, Dec 01 '17 at 14:35

I have found answers of my questions. Latest and working configuration as below.

    location ^~ / {
    root /path/to/root;    
    error_page 418 = @a1;

    if ($request_uri ~ "(.*)(some|word)(.*)") { return 418; }

        try_files $request_uri $request_uri/index.html $uri.html @a1;   
     add_header X-debug-static-1 "$request_uri" always; }

     location @a1 {
         add_header X-debug-web "$request_uri" always;
         include web.conf;    }
