SUMMARY

Using a provider name that contains a space character results in failure.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

---
- name: Configure Central Manager Infrastructure
  become: false
  hosts: "all"
  gather_facts: false
  connection: httpapi
  collections:
    - f5networks.next
  vars:
    ansible_host: "192.0.2.0"
    ansible_user: "admin"
    ansible_httpapi_password: "{{ lookup('env', 'admin_password') }}"
    ansible_httpapi_port: 443
    ansible_network_os: "f5networks.next.cm"
    ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: true
    ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: false
  tasks:
    - name: "Create vSphere Provider"
      cm_next_provider:
        name: "Provider Demo"
        type: "vsphere"
        address: "{{ lookup('env', 'vsphere_host') }}"
        username: "{{ lookup('env', 'vsphere_user') }}"
        password: "{{ lookup('env', 'vsphere_password') }}"

EXPECTED RESULTS

I expect the provider to be created successfully since CM supports space characters in provider names.

ACTUAL RESULTS

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: ansible.module_utils.connection.ConnectionError: URL can't contain control characters. "/api/device/v1/providers/vsphere?filter=name+eq+'Provider Demo'" (found at least ' ')
