      Description

      We have Jobs with timer trigger and SCM timer trigger.
      Every trigger has an comment like this:

      # every 30 minutes
      */30 * * * *

      If we copy jobs with these triggers by URL(<Jenkins-URL>/createItem?name=copyOfJob) and config.xml as post data, then the triggers are not activ. Jenkins handles

      # every 30 minutes
      */30 * * * *

      as a whole comment.

      If the trigger configuration ist like:

      */30 * * * *
      # every 30 minutes

      then copy by URL ist not possible. Jenkins gives an Exception (see Attachment)

          Not a defect, only happens when you use e.g. curl --data @config.xml rather than curl --data-binary @config.xml. Only the latter retains line breaks, which are essential for this format:

          * * * * * # foo

          is invalid.

          # foo * * * * *

          is all comment, and the trigger is stripped from the job.

          Confirmed (with different but similarly broken behavior) on 1.583; if the timer spec contains a comment, the timer will silently be discarded.
