Description

If a option of a matrix project contains a comma in its value, the build page of that configuration shows instead a 404 error. The behavior is identical to the one described in the fixed bug 1352. It seems to have been fixed for all/most characters but not for comma.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with a matrix project option whose value contains a comma, then compare the behavior with the fixed bug 1352 referenced in the report. Trace the matrix-project-plugin path used to render that configuration's build page; it is done when the page loads instead of returning 404 for comma-containing values.
