Bug 700380

Description of problem:
It is possible to create config files that have a trailing space in their name. This causes problems with config file deployment and results in an error using the API call configchannel.lookupFileInfo

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
by creating a config file with a trailing blank in a config channel

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a config file with a trailing blank in a config channel
2. use the following API calls (Python)

>>> client = xmlrpclib.Server(SATELLITE_URL, verbose=0)
>>> global session
>>> session = client.auth.login(SATELLITE_LOGIN, SATELLITE_PASSWORD)
>>> 
>>> label = 'cfg-corp-dev-rhel-server-5'
>>> files = client.configchannel.listFiles(session, label)
>>> files
[{'path': '/etc/syslog.conf ', 'last_modified': <DateTime u'20110428T10:42:17' at 2ad4477c2bd8>, 'type': 'file'}]
>>> filePaths = map(lambda f: f['path'], files)
>>> filePaths
['/etc/syslog.conf ']
>>> fileInfos = client.configchannel.lookupFileInfo(session, label, filePaths)
  
Actual results:

>>> fileInfos = client.configchannel.lookupFileInfo(session, label, filePaths)
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return u.close()

    raise Fault(**self._stack[0])
xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault -1: 'redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault: unhandled internal exception: null'>

Expected results:

This is usually caused accidentally by a user doing cut and paste, but anyway the Web GUI should trim trailing whitespace from config file names. I don't know any case where a trailing space in a config file name could be useful or necesary.
