slices don't work with whitespace or umlaut in data field about icingaweb2-module-cube HOT 2 CLOSED

We actually encountered the same problem with white space, after some investigation it seems that the function cubeFromParams($params) is the cause, as the URL is not decoded when the cube is created by that function.

I did find a solution which is as follows:
Edit cube/application/controllers/IndexController.php
Find:
$cube->slice($param[0], $param[1]);
Change to:
$cube->slice($param[0], urldecode($param[1]));

I did initially see if decoding the name aka $param[0] would allow us to use custom variable names with spaces (and upper cases) but this is more of an architectural limitation of Icinga2 as a whole as it doesn't seem to "escape" the custom variable names when used with database commands which results in errors.

Not sure if this also works with umlauts but I would imagine that it would.
