API (group_contact,add) does not exist

According to the docs, you can add a contact to group using the REST API

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC44/REST+interface#RESTinterface-AddusertoGroup

However when I make a request like so, the response indicates no such method exists.

http://example.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/rest.php?entity=group_contact&action=add&contact_id=1&group_id=1&key=FOO&api_key=BAR

Response:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<ResultSetxmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Result>
<is_error>1</is_error>
<error_message>API (group_contact,add) does not exist (join the API team and implement it!)</error_message>
</Result>
</ResultSet>

The entity should be "GroupContact" rather than "group_contact".  If you want to check syntax, use the API explorer at http://yoursite/civicrm/api/explorer.

That URL is going to vary based on your CMS and whether you have Drupal Clean URLs enabled, but you should be able to work it out!

oh - and it's "create", not "add".
