I also did not get the FF out... and discovered the reason:
/*
* char *Fix_option_str( char *str, int remove_ws, int trim, int one_line )
* if( remove_ws ) then remove all isspace() characters
* if( trim) find and remove all white space before and after \n
* if( one_line) change \n to space
* do escape substitutions
*/
This routine is used to remove white space so that things like:
xx = this is ok
yy = to send
init_val = [ xx yy ]
=> this is ok to send =>thisisoktosend
usually the xx and yy values are escaped string values... so you
want to remove the white space... I suspect that FF is a special case here...
Try the following patch:
