Hi Henrik,

We found why we receive "Internal Server Error" when using this new feature.

We use the NAME tag in bb-hosts and this value is -wrongly- given as param. to 
the hobbitsvc.cgi.


Here an example with NAME="arwen (ESX Server for Linux)":

-------------------------
<CENTER>
   <TABLE WIDTH=80% BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=5 SUMMARY="Trends period">
     <TR><TD>Trends period</TD></TR>
     <TR>
        <TD BGCOLOR="#333333">
        <BR>

        <CENTER>

        <FORM METHOD="GET" ACTION="/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh">
           Days: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="backdays" SIZE=4 
VALUE="3">  
           Hours: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="backhours" SIZE=4 
VALUE="0">  
           Minutes: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="backmins" SIZE=4 
VALUE="0">  
           Seconds: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="backsecs" SIZE=4 
VALUE="0">  

           <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="HOST" VALUE="arwen (ESX Server for Linux)">
           <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="SERVICE" VALUE="trends">
           <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="Go" VALUE="Update" ALT="Update">
        </FORM>

        </CENTER>
        </TD>
       </TR>
    </TABLE>

Could you have a look at this?
