Thanks for this hint. We have decided to enhance our REST API to allow
the specification of database options. You can now add the
"chop=false" parameter to stop the whitespace normalization of

[2]).

As Thomas already noted, the namespace has changed from 7.0.2 to 7.1
(and will now stay as it is ;).

Hope this helps,
