Comment 1 for bug 1788045

Hi @James,

If I reproduced this issue correct, this doesn't seem to be a neutron bug. In below, I tried to create a security group rule with unicode character. The trace indicated that the error was raised in client side:

  $ RULE_ID=$(openstack security group rule create --protocol "icmp" --remote-ip "0.0.0.0/0" --description "ICMP Ping”" default -c id -f value)

  $ openstack security group rule delete $RULE_ID
  Failed to delete rule with name or ID '576a8d9b-c5db-47aa-bb16-873071ed3f8a': 'ascii' codec can't encode
  character u'\u201d' in position 136: ordinal not in range(128)
  1 of 1 rules failed to delete.

  $ openstack --debug security group rule delete $RULE_ID
  ...

If I directly delete it through REST API, it worked:

  $ curl -i -X DELETE -H "Accept: application/json" -H "X-Auth-Token: $TOKEN"
