Hi all,

I've just found that nova only accepts alphanumeric chars for keypair
name, but it's giving an unclear message when you try to create a
keypair using a non-alphanumeric char:

(cloud)antonio@kenny:~$ nova keypair-add a/b --pub-key ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
ERROR: Keypair data is invalid (HTTP 400) (Request-ID:
req-5617dbb4-1c92-435b-ba88-7bcee5684f21)
(cloud)antonio@kenny:~$ nova keypair-add a.b --pub-key ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
ERROR: Keypair data is invalid (HTTP 400) (Request-ID:

(cloud)antonio@kenny:~$ nova keypair-add a,b --pub-key ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
ERROR: Keypair data is invalid (HTTP 400) (Request-ID:

(cloud)antonio@kenny:~$ nova keypair-add a:b --pub-key ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
ERROR: Keypair data is invalid (HTTP 400) (Request-ID:
req-87a32c9e-0f90-4fb9-b380-4d34c4f2df50)

is this a "knew" feature or should I open a bug?

This has been tested on folsom/ubuntu.
