Each time I try to create a new Ceph storage using web interface, I got 'The target must not contain any special characters' error. The most interesting thing is that I don't see any 'target' fields in the form. Here is a sample data sent:

stg_type: rbd
secret: [some-secret]
name: cephpool
csrfmiddlewaretoken: l5mTLO0vw7OKaIwJsVwGdaUvk8wXidoI
create: [empty]
ceph_user: libvirt
ceph_pool: libvirt-pool
ceph_host: [monitoring-host-ip]

Panel version according to README.rst: WebVirtMgr panel - v4.8.8
OS: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-32-generic x86_64)

I really consider this case as an issue, though it may have known workarounds or there may be software limitations I'm not aware about. Explanation, advice and, first of all, fix are appreciated.
