I’m developing a web service in rails which uses JSON as the transport  
format. I also have a front end rails site that talks to that web  
service to retrieve various bits of data. I’m using ActiveResource to  
accomplish that.

When running my unit tests for the ActiveResource clients I’ve written  
against a WebBrick server, they all pass fine. However when I run  
them against the exact same application code running on FastCGI (on  
Dreamhost) it appears that the the save method is partially broken.

The save is successful and my server returns a 201 HTTP status code.  
The new entry gets added to the DB. However, the ID attribute of the  
entry is blank. When I run this rails application on WebBrick  
however, it’s populated with the ID attribute of the saved item.

Both servers are running the same version of Ruby and Rails. Anyone  
have any idea what could be going on?
