I am creating a rails app that is a gui wraping a restful web service
that uses a websso for authentication. This websso sets a series of
headers that I need to pass from the request to the
ActiveResource.find methods. As this is stuff like username etc it is
going to be different for each request. I can find examples on how to
set headers for all requests not just one.

“set” or do you actually mean “get” ?
If you need to read headers from a request you should do that in
your controller; unsurprisingly they’re in a ‘request.headers’ array
I am faced with the exact same scenario, an OAuth authentication is
accepted on a request and needs to be used on an ActiveResource lookup
call to a RESTful API, that itself requires the appropriate
authentication header to be set, possibly different for each HTTP
request. This seems to me to be a legitimate and possibly popular way
to use ActiveResource in the development community.
I don’t have a workaround yet, I am hoping my post raises awareness.
Does active resource support setting headers on the model object
rather then on the model class?
That would solve the issue, but looking thought the active resource
code does not seem that it’s available.
Any good reason why should the option of setting headers per object
not be supported/provided/available?

(Rails 3.0.3) ActiveResource::Connection lists
get(path, headers = {})
as a public instance method; is that not what you want? (‘headers’ is
also part of other ReSTful verbs e.g. put/post/etc. method signatures)
