Bug #4588: generate() function doesn't seem to be binary safe when used as File
content

Keywords: generate binary safe
Branch:
The generate() function isn't binary safe it would seem.
13:52 < masterzen> zeroXten: file content is rendered as a string in the
json catalog without being escaped correctly :(
For example, when using generate() to control keytabs:
file { "/etc/krb5.keytab":
mode => 0600,
owner => "root",
group => "root",
require => Class["libkrb5::install"],
content => generate("keytabgen", $fqdn),
replace => no,
}
results in an error:
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Could not render to pson: invalid utf8 byte: '�'
as the keytab file contains binary. In the above case, keytabgen is essentially
cat'ing a keytab file for the host.
Of course, one could use use source instead of content/generate, but in this
particular case generate is needed for post processing.
