Slashes not allowed in ‘apipassword’

kseistrup opened this issue · 1 comments

I had created an API passord using this shell script:

#!/bin/sh
head -c 45 /dev/random \
| uuencode -m - \
| head -n 2 \
| tail -n 1
:
# eof

And I just discovered that the reason why apiTest didn't succeed was that the generated apipassword contained a ‘/’. As soon as I created a password with alphanumerics only everything was cool.

This may be a bug in xmlrpclib or httplib, but it affects the daemon anyway.

Cheers.

Indeed it is a bug that I have no control over. I'll be sure to alert future users. Thanks!
