+# Support custom methods and sub-resources for REST.
+#
+# Say you on the server configure your routes with:
+#
+# map.resources :people, :new => { :register => :post },
+# :element => { :promote => :put, :deactivate => :delete }
+# :collection => { :active => :get }
+#
+# Which creates routes for the following http requests:
+#
+# POST /people/new/register.xml #=> PeopleController.register
+# PUT /people/1/promote.xml #=> PeopleController.promote with :id => 1
+# DELETE /people/1/deactivate.xml #=> PeopleController.deactivate with :id => 1
+# GET /people/active.xml #=> PeopleController.active
+#
+# This module provides the ability for Active Resource to call these
+# custom REST methods and get the response back.
+#
+# class Person < ActiveResource::Base
+# self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000"
+# end
+#
+# Person.new(:name => 'Ryan).post(:register) #=> { :id => 1, :name => 'Ryan' }
+#
+# Person.find(1).put(:promote, :position => 'Manager')
+# Person.find(1).delete(:deactivate)
+#
+# Person.get(:active) #=> [{:id => 1, :name => 'Ryan'}, {:id => 2, :name => 'Joe'}]
