createListing problem

[GraGra33]

Hi Guys,

Whilst writing a Sandbox Sync tool, I can across the following (400)
Bad Request error when calling createListing:

X-Mashery-Responder: proxyworker-i-6c3c2104.mashery.com
X-Error-Detail: object has validation errors on the following
field(s): materials (Your materials may not contain _., Your materials
may not contain _.) : materials (Your materials may not contain _.,
Your materials may not contain _.);
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 221
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8

Etsy.com allows for two-worded materials however the API doesn't
appear to. Is this correct or should the API allow the same as the
main site?

The "materials" field currently accepts space characters (which need
to be properly encoded).

The underscore "_" character is not valid inside the materials field
when creating and updating a Listing.

Therefore that particular validation error message is expected and
correct. Try using real space characters instead.

We are investigating allowing underscores in "materials" for writes to
match the format of reads. Coincidentally the infrastructure that
powers the taxonomy and materials is undergoing some changes and so we
would need to coordinate any API changes in these fields with that
effort.
