[Bro-Dev] [JIRA] (BIT-966) logging and input framework config maps do not support values containing \0

Johanna Amann updated BIT-966:
------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix
        Status: Closed  (was: Open)

Closing because we don't actually have a use-case that needs 0 characters in text; seems more like an edge-case that is very unlikely to happen.

> The config maps in the input and logging frameworks are defined as map<char *, char*>, thus allowing no \0 in values, where they could arguably be useful. This is due to the fact that we do not have a thread-safe string class available at the moment.
