I have discovered some odd behavior while trying to get an application  
to work under fcgid…  
as I have also discovered this problem happening under plain old cgi,  
but not under script/server or mongrel, I thought that it might be a  
problem in dispatch …

When trying to create a new record using a resource via a normal  
scaffold, it works under script/server but when I try it under apache/  
fcgi or apache/cgi I get the index page…

the apache log records a post to the index, followed immediately by a  
get, the rails development log, only records the get call to the  
scaffold resource index.
