Hello, Jan-Henrik,

not escaping/unescaping URLs is very lazy. Could this be fixed?

Kind regards,

Betreff: Re: Service name with whitespace

The service name is used in the URL when looking at a service details page in the web-ui. The name therefor has to consist of URL safe chars. Since we don’t do URL escaping and unescaping between web-ui and internals, space is not allowed in a service name. Using punctuation chars like underscore, hyphen or dot are good choices.
