Hello, I have here Icinga 1.7.2 and have a problem with links in classic 
UI when host is named in certain way. I allowed to use ">" char in Icinga 
using "illegal_object_name_chars=`~!$%^&*|'"<?,()=" option in icinga.cfg 
(just removed the ">" char).
Now I have host definition like this:

define host {
         use                     generic-host
         host_name               Link from one place->to another
         alias                   Link from one place->to another
         address                 10.0.1.2
         parents
         check_command           check-host-alive
         contact_groups          g.mailALL,g.smsALL
         max_check_attempts      3
         notification_interval   60
         notification_period     24x7
         notification_options    d,r
}

In the UI Icinga creates a link, that does not work and leads to 
red message "Error: host not found" (or similar). This is the link itself:
https://our.server/icinga/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=1&host=Link+from+one+place-%3Eto+another
But IMHO it looks fine (the ">" is well converted to "%3E"), but I'm not a web 
guru.

But when I remove the ">" from the host_name, it works. The working link 
is here:
https://our.server/icinga/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=1&host=Link+from+one+place-to+another

I know, that these characters are not recommended for using, because of 
some possible cmd line issues, but I'm pretty sure I can use it this way 
in our environment, so there should be no problem with that.

Is that bug or feature? If it's bug - was this solved in some newer 
version of Icinga? - I was unable find this in changelog.

Regards, Tomas
