[Ovmsdev] Valid Vehicle ID characters?

[Tom Saxton]

I think it should accept and preserve mixed case IDs, but do case insensitive compares when matching IDs. I don’t want JoeSmithModelS showing up as JOESMITHMODELS.

But, the itef reference talks about there being no distinction between upper and lower case.  Should we accept either, but shift (force) lower case to upper case?

Right, forgot about that. Input validation rule changed to allow lower case letters and hyphen.

As these are used in mDNS, I think we should follow DNS naming conventions:

I think that means letter, digits, and the hyphen character.

I can't find it now, but somehow I ended up with an underscore in my
vehicle ID, registered through the OpenVehicles website.  Should I
change the ID, or change the webserver to accept the additional
characters?   I'm guessing the only real restrictions are to use the
traditional printable characters from the base ASCII character set, and
no spaces.

No, that's the v2 rule for vehicle IDs.

Don't know about the origin though, I don't think any component would have a problem with lower case and dashes / underscores /…

Even UTF-8 should be no problem (except via SMS). Maybe a rule we can drop?

Just noticed...  The Webserver restricts the vehicle ID to "upper case
letters and digits".  I thought underscores and dashes are allowed
(seems to work); my car's ID contains an underscore...  Is this
additional restriction new (server v3, perhaps)?
