Comment 4 for bug 389872

Hi Didier.

Thanks for starting this. I think this is much more complicated that the initial statement of work. Many of the objects that contributors want to expose were never published in the Web UI; eg, GPGKeys do not have a URL. GPGKeys need to be published with a URL *before* they can be exposed to the restful API. This is also the reason why exporting the restful API is not trivial.

Launchpad uses the ZCML browser:url directive to define the URL for an object. I think we can the GPGKey to be subordinate to a person to create the Web url, something like this:

    <browser:url
        for="lp.registry.interfaces.gpgkey.IGPGKey"
        path_expression="string:+gpgkeyid/${keyid}"
        attribute_to_parent="owner"
        rootsite="api"/>

I expect your interfaces changes to work once the URL exists.
