RE: http_parse_xml_stmf issue

[Mike Krebs <mkrebs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Spaces are valid characters in filenames in most of the IFS. That is why they are significant. Most GUIs will remove trailing spaces, but command line will sometimes let you put them in. Makes it hard to get rid of them when you can't "see" what they really are.

If this was a QSYS file name, the name would be invalid.
