queries appear with spammy botty parameters #50

Closed jhpoelen closed 8 years ago

Today, I noticed that a query with taxon selector ../../../../../../../../etc/passwdindex.html was attempted. The job failed as expected, and some basic checking can be done to prevent these queries from running in the first place.

added more parameter validation in attempt to reduce spammy-ness.
