[Bug 845146] [NEW] error when fetching reviews for third-party repositories

[Matthew McGowan]

Public bug reported:

The following error occurred when visiting the details page for Opera web-browser:
2011-09-09 09:01:48,090 - softwarecenter.backend.spawn_helper - WARNING - exit code 1 from helper
2011-09-09 09:01:48,091 - softwarecenter.backend.spawn_helper - WARNING - got error from helper: 'ERROR:__main__:get_reviews
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./data/piston_get_reviews_helper.py", line 73, in <module>
    piston_reviews = try_get_reviews(kwargs)
  File "./data/piston_get_reviews_helper.py", line 23, in try_get_reviews
    piston_reviews = rnrclient.get_reviews(**kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/piston_mini_client/validators.py", line 41, in wrapper
    return func(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/piston_mini_client/validators.py", line 37, in wrapper
    pattern))
ValidationException: Argument 'origin' must match pattern '[0-9a-z+-.:/]+$'
'

The visual result in the UI is that the fetching reviews spinner just
goes on spinning forever.
