Subject: elog client cmd line submission of attributes with spaces. 
I was setting of a local test copy of my logbooks on my Windows 7 PC to begin testing automation of submissions without spamming the live logbooks. While trying to make entries from the command line I get an error that I am missing a required attribute. I have multiple attributes that have spaces in them an the verbose output indicates that the space in the name is being changed to an underscore. Is this the expected behavior or a bug when submitting to the elog client in Windows?

Command being entered:

Quote:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG>elog -h 127.0.0.1 -p 443 -s -l "Oceana Logbook" -u j
ohn.smith john.smith -v -n 0 -a Platform=LSOT -a "Start Time"="Fri, 19 Aug 2016
12:58:01 -0500" -a "Author=John Smith" -a "Device=2H111-1" -a "Action Type"=Mai
ntenance -a "Maint Type"=Unscheduled -a "System=Device" -a "Downtime=No" -a "Man
Hours"=1.0 -a MAF="" -a "Lost Time"="" -m "testing"

You can see where I have multiple attributes with spaces. Below you see where the name shows an underscore instead of a space.
