Re: Service name with whitespace

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

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.
