[Buildbot-devel] possible bug - wierd behaviour for some custom property values from force build page

[robert dugal]

On the force build page I enter a custom property called 'test'.
If I assign an integer or text value containing no spaces then the force build button works as it should.
However, if I enter a value of 'this is a test', with or  without quotes, then the force build button instead sends 
me to a list of builders page and the build is not started.

Here are some values for the custom property that work:
1234
foo
-foo
/foo


Here are some values for the custom property that break the force build, sending me to list of builders page:
foo boo
'foo boo'
"foo"
\foo
-foo -boo
foo*
foo,
foo=boo

Obviously some of these property values wouldn't make sense. 
However I don't see why I cannot enter a custom property/value pair like: 
TEST_OPTIONS = -A -b -CD


I am using buildbot 0.7.12. Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?
