Comment 0 for bug 1535723

The room page's "Netbox interfaces" tab is always blank under NAV 4.0.0.

Using the developer console, it is apparent that the backend URL that is queried to get tab contents fails with a 500 error. The following traceback is reported:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa0' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
