Anonymous Viewing of Issues Gives WARN in Log + HTTP 404

Issue #13 new
Mark Symons created an issue

When JIRA is set up to allow anonymous users to browse issue then the JIRA Threaded Comments plugin will give two errors.

From JIRA Application Log:

2014-05-28 14:13:40,067 http-bio-8080-exec-7 WARN anonymous 853x592x4 zu2etc xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,127.0.0.1 /rest/handlecomments/latest/hdata/commentdata [handlecomments] Get comment request ignored

From Access Log:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 853x593x5 - [28/May/2014:14:13:40 +0100] "GET /rest/handlecomments/latest/hdata/commentsvotes?issueid=undefined&_=1401282819100 HTTP/1.1" 404 2921 35 "http://foo.bar.com/browse/XXX-1234?filter=13859" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0" "zu2etc"

This was seen with Plugin v1.4 running on JIRA v6.2.3

The above log snippets are for viewing an issue in "Detail View" after clicking on a filter link... but errors are also seen when viewing an issue directly.

    The problem is linked to the View Voters and Watchers permission. Somehow, the user need to have that permission for the commentdata to succeed.

    As a workaround and to prevent your log being flooded until a fix is made, you can allow problematic users to that permission.
