Static client fails on register if name uses '<' '>' characters.

[thetoster]

Tried on contiki platform. If I set name to through AwaStaticClient_SetEndPointName then from contiki logs you get info about registered but calling awa-serverr-list-clients returns empty list. Removing '<', '>' characters make removes problem.

Checked on version 0.2.5

I'm guessing this might be more related to the IPC call for awa-server-list-clients than to the actual registration - did you test this against the deviceserver?

I suspect this is almost certainly due to using XML over IPC. The initial expectation was that endpoint names would only contain characters that can be specified in a CoAP URL (since it is used as a bootstrap parameter) however I don't think this is enforced. The endpoint name should be encoded/decoded over IPC to avoid reserved XML characters, and also encoded appropriately when used in the bootstrap URL.

@boyvinall I didn't check with DS. No time to dig around this.
@DavidAntliff I think you are right, when I tried to do awa-server-list-clients -o it crashes with some errors and NULLs. However I didn't copy those logs.
I believe method AwaStaticClient_SetEndPointName should return some error if invalid name is passed, or it do some silent strip off wrong characters.
