Can't clear comments on VMs #210
Description
On the exe.dev web console the help message is:
Comments are short, plain-text notes shown next to your VM. Max 200 characters; HTML metacharacters not allowed. Submit empty to clear.
If I submit an empty comment I get:
usage: comment <hostname> <text>
If I submit and empty string "" I get:
comment must not contain HTML metacharacters (< > & " ' `)
I get the same in the ssh console:
exe.dev ▶ help comment
Command: comment
Set or clear a short comment on a VM
Usage: comment <hostname> <text>
Options:
--json output in JSON format
Examples:
comment my-vm staging copy
comment my-vm "" # clear the comment
exe.dev ▶ comment ficks-bravo.exe.xyz ""
usage: comment <hostname> <text>

Sending a whitespace did the trick in the ssh console
It still fails at the web console (probably expected because of form behavior so I guess it counts as a bug).
