# # POST to the custom 'register' REST method, i.e. POST /people/new/register.xml.

# For more information on using custom REST methods, see the
# ActiveResource::CustomMethods documentation.
#
# == Validations
#
# You can validate resources client side by overriding validation methods in the base class.
#
# class Person < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000/"
# protected
# def validate
# errors.add("last", "has invalid characters") unless last =~ /[a-zA-Z]*/

# errors.add("last", "has invalid characters") unless last =~ /[a-zA-Z]*/
# end
# end
#
# See the ActiveResource::Validations documentation for more information.
#
# == Authentication
#
# Many REST APIs will require authentication, usually in the form of basic
# HTTP authentication. Authentication can be specified by putting the credentials
# in the +site+ variable of the Active Resource class you need to authenticate.
# HTTP authentication. Authentication can be specified by:
# * putting the credentials in the URL for the +site+ variable.
#
# class Person < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "http://ryan:password@api.people.com:3000/"
# end
# class Person < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "http://ryan:password@api.people.com:3000/"
# end
#
# * defining +user+ and/or +password+ variables
#
# class Person < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000/"
# self.user = "ryan"
# self.password = "password"
# end
#
# For obvious security reasons, it is probably best if such services are available
# over HTTPS.
#
# Note: Some values cannot be provided in the URL passed to site. e.g. email addresses
# as usernames. In those situations you should use the seperate user and password option.
# == Errors & Validation
#
# Error handling and validation is handled in much the same manner as you're used to seeing in
# Active Record. Both the response code in the Http response and the body of the response are used to
# Active Record. Both the response code in the HTTP response and the body of the response are used to
# indicate that an error occurred.
#
# === Resource errors
#
# When a get is requested for a resource that does not exist, the HTTP +404+ (Resource Not Found)
# When a GET is requested for a resource that does not exist, the HTTP <tt>404</tt> (Resource Not Found)
# response code will be returned from the server which will raise an ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
# exception.
#
# # GET http://api.people.com:3000/people/999.xml
# ryan = Person.find(999) # => Raises ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
# # => Response = 404
# ryan = Person.find(999) # 404, raises ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
#
# +404+ is just one of the HTTP error response codes that ActiveResource will handle with its own exception. The
# <tt>404</tt> is just one of the HTTP error response codes that ActiveResource will handle with its own exception. The
# following HTTP response codes will also result in these exceptions:
#
# 200 - 399:: Valid response, no exception
# 404:: ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
# 409:: ActiveResource::ResourceConflict
# 422:: ActiveResource::ResourceInvalid (rescued by save as validation errors)
# 401 - 499:: ActiveResource::ClientError
# 500 - 599:: ActiveResource::ServerError
# * 200..399 - Valid response, no exception
# * 404 - ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
# * 409 - ActiveResource::ResourceConflict
# * 422 - ActiveResource::ResourceInvalid (rescued by save as validation errors)
# * 401..499 - ActiveResource::ClientError
# * 500..599 - ActiveResource::ServerError
#
# These custom exceptions allow you to deal with resource errors more naturally and with more precision
# rather than returning a general HTTP error. For example:

#
# === Timeouts
#
# Active Resource relies on HTTP to access RESTful APIs and as such is inherently susceptible to slow or
# unresponsive servers. In such cases, your Active Resource method calls could timeout. You can control the
# amount of time before Active Resource times out with the +timeout+ variable.
#
# class Person < ActiveResource::Base
# self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000/"
# self.timeout = 5
# end
#
# This sets the +timeout+ to 5 seconds. You can adjust the +timeout+ to a value suitable for the RESTful API
# you are accessing. It is recommended to set this to a reasonably low value to allow your Active Resource
# clients (especially if you are using Active Resource in a Rails application) to fail-fast (see
# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail-fast) rather than cause cascading failures that could incapacitate your
# server.
#
# When a timeout occurs, an ActiveResource::TimeoutError is raised. You should rescue from
# ActiveResource::TimeoutError in your Active Resource method calls.
#
# Internally, Active Resource relies on Ruby's Net::HTTP library to make HTTP requests. Setting +timeout+
# sets the <tt>read_timeout</tt> of the internal Net::HTTP instance to the same value. The default
# <tt>read_timeout</tt> is 60 seconds on most Ruby implementations.
