create comment url public

/comments/forurl [POST]

Description

Create a new comment on a URL.

The URL does not have to exist in PageSeeder or even point to a valid resource but it must be a valid URL.

This service is useful to attach comments to a common anchor that can be queried when there is no URI or when it would cause too many comments to be posted on a group.

The value must match a valid status as defined in Group Properties.

For example: Open, Resolved, Closed.

To process assignedto and priority parameters requires that status be specified.

Permission

This service is public, anyone can invoke it since the URL for the URI has public access.
