Description of problem:
If you use the spacewalk xmlrpc api to create or update a config file the whitespaces at beginning and end of the file are removed. 
I have included a small python script to illustratate the issue.


How reproducible:
make a xmlrpc connection and create a file with whitespaces at beginning and/or end of the file with the api call "configchannel.create".

  
Actual results:
The white spaces are removed.


Expected results:
The white spaces should be in the file.
