Protocol can't handle tons of valid SSIDs #17

So I know this is a bad time to notice this... but an SSID can be 32 bytes of anything. Our protocol prohibits whitespace, CRLFs, etc. within the SSID, but these are all valid.

Might be a bit late to fix in the protocol at this point.

To be clear, the concern I am thinking of is if the client sees an SSID with a space in the name, it's currently responsible for stripping that out before sending it to the server, which is not very nice. And I can't imagine that will play well with the connect to network feature.
