Description

I just added another DDNS provider and was wondering about the error message in the system log:

php: /services_dyndns_edit.php: phpDynDNS: (Error) Hostname supplied does not exist.

Again I looked into the "Dynamic DNS client" dialog and could not see any mistakes. So I clicked again into the hostname field and found, uups, a leading space. Bingo!

So here is my request: Please trim hostname fields so all leading and trailing whitespaces will be removed automatically.

Kind regards,
routerfreak

There could be a general change to automatically trim all GUI input fields where it is invalid to have white space at the beginning or end of the string. That would be a bit of work to go through the whole system and decide which things to trim on input.

This can be useful for other places but it's not enough here, we need to make sure it's a valid domain name.
