Description

The change from 'parseMap' to 'parseString' inside FlowConfigResourceLocalHandler is backwards-incompatible i.e. it now only accepts valid HOCON strings. For literal strings in the REST.li request which may contain special characters such as ":" or "*" and which are forbidden by HOCON unless properly escaped, the request will fail with ConfigException.
