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): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

I don't know any case where a trailing space in a config file name could be useful or necesary. Additional info:
