Fixed In Version: python-django-horizon-2014.1-4.el7ost
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, when a container was named with '%' character, the URL in the Dashboard would break, causing a 'Bad Request' page to be returned. As a result, Horizon would fail to create containers with the name containing '%' character. It would also fail to list, upload or download files from such a container. With this bug fix, the URLs are quoted properly. Users can now create containers with '%' in the name using the Dashboard and also list, upload and downloads files from such a container.

Description of problem:

I was testing special characters container requests and if you create a container with % in the name we get a bad request page: 

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Apache/2.2.15 (Red Hat) Server at nott-vdsa.qa.lab.tlv.redhat.com Port 80

also, for some cases the container will be created but we cannot list/upload or download files from it. 

testing the swift UI it can support it as long as we put '***' so please note that even if horizon blocks special characters we can still create them from swift. 

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

python-django-horizon-2013.2-0.12b3.el6ost.noarch

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to create a container called b%b
2.
3.

Actual results:

we get a bad request page from horizon 

Expected results:

requests for special characters should be sent with 'b%b' since swift does support this and a user can still create a container from the cli and than not be able to list it from horizon.

Comment 2 Julie Pichon 2014-01-21 16:18:57 UTC 
Fixed in Icehouse-1 upstream (commit 5a57c1ee704).
Comment 3 Julie Pichon 2014-05-27 09:56:16 UTC 
As per previous comment, this was merged during Icehouse upstream and should already be available in the existing RHEL OSP 5 packages.
Comment 4 Amit Ugol 2014-06-18 08:52:42 UTC 
Verified, I tried %, along with some other esoteric charecters.
