[jira] [Created] (GUACAMOLE-1511) Automatically trim trailing whitespace from guacamole.properties values

Mike Jumper created GUACAMOLE-1511:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Automatically trim trailing whitespace from guacamole.properties values
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-1511
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1511
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: guacamole, guacamole-ext
            Reporter: Mike Jumper


A consistent cause of trouble with Guacamole configuration is the fact that trailing whitespace is considered part of the property value. While this mirrors the standard behavior of Java properties files, it causes no end of issues when a user copies/pastes a password, etc. and accidentally includes an invisible space or two at the end.

We should probably just trim these away and save the world some grief.
