-module ActiveResource
-  # ActiveResource::Base is the main class for mapping RESTful resources as models in a Rails application.
-  #
-  # For an outline of what Active Resource is capable of, see link:files/vendor/rails/activeresource/README.html.
-  #
-  # == Automated mapping
-  #
-  # Active Resource objects represent your RESTful resources as manipulatable Ruby objects.  To map resources
-  # to Ruby objects, Active Resource only needs a class name that corresponds to the resource name (e.g., the class
-  # Person maps to the resources people, very similarly to Active Record) and a +site+ value, which holds the
-  # URI of the resources.
-  #
-  #   class Person < ActiveResource::Base
-  #     self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000/"
-  #   end
-  #
-  # Now the Person class is mapped to RESTful resources located at <tt>http://api.people.com:3000/people/</tt>, and
-  # you can now use Active Resource's lifecycles methods to manipulate resources. In the case where you already have
-  # an existing model with the same name as the desired RESTful resource you can set the +element_name+ value.
-  #
-  #   class PersonResource < ActiveResource::Base
-  #     self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000/"
-  #     self.element_name = "person"
-  #   end
-  #
-  #
-  # == Lifecycle methods
-  #
-  # Active Resource exposes methods for creating, finding, updating, and deleting resources
-  # from REST web services.
-  #
-  #   ryan = Person.new(:first => 'Ryan', :last => 'Daigle')
-  #   ryan.save                # => true
-  #   ryan.id                  # => 2
-  #   Person.exists?(ryan.id)  # => true
-  #   ryan.exists?             # => true
-  #
-  #   ryan = Person.find(1)
-  #   # Resource holding our newly created Person object
-  #
-  #   ryan.first = 'Rizzle'
-  #   ryan.save                # => true
-  #
-  #   ryan.destroy             # => true
-  #
-  # As you can see, these are very similar to Active Record's lifecycle methods for database records.
-  # You can read more about each of these methods in their respective documentation.
-  #
-  # === Custom REST methods
-  #
-  # Since simple CRUD/lifecycle methods can't accomplish every task, Active Resource also supports
-  # defining your own custom REST methods. To invoke them, Active Resource provides the <tt>get</tt>,
-  # <tt>post</tt>, <tt>put</tt> and <tt>\delete</tt> methods where you can specify a custom REST method
-  # name to invoke.
-  #
-  #   # POST to the custom 'register' REST method, i.e. POST /people/new/register.xml.
-  #   Person.new(:name => 'Ryan').post(:register)
-  #   # => { :id => 1, :name => 'Ryan', :position => 'Clerk' }
-  #
-  #   # PUT an update by invoking the 'promote' REST method, i.e. PUT /people/1/promote.xml?position=Manager.
-  #   Person.find(1).put(:promote, :position => 'Manager')
-  #   # => { :id => 1, :name => 'Ryan', :position => 'Manager' }
-  #
-  #   # GET all the positions available, i.e. GET /people/positions.xml.
-  #   Person.get(:positions)
-  #   # => [{:name => 'Manager'}, {:name => 'Clerk'}]
-  #
-  #   # DELETE to 'fire' a person, i.e. DELETE /people/1/fire.xml.
-  #   Person.find(1).delete(:fire)
-  #
-  # 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]*/
-  #        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 URL for the +site+ variable.
-  #
-  #    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 separate 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
-  # indicate that an error occurred.
-  #
-  # === Resource errors
-  #
-  # 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) # 404, raises ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
-  #
-  # <tt>404</tt> is just one of the HTTP error response codes that Active Resource will handle with its own exception. The
-  # following HTTP response codes will also result in these exceptions:
-  # 
-  # * 200..399 - Valid response, no exception (other than 301, 302)
-  # * 301, 302 - ActiveResource::Redirection
-  # * 400 - ActiveResource::BadRequest
-  # * 401 - ActiveResource::UnauthorizedAccess
-  # * 403 - ActiveResource::ForbiddenAccess
-  # * 404 - ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
-  # * 405 - ActiveResource::MethodNotAllowed
-  # * 409 - ActiveResource::ResourceConflict
-  # * 422 - ActiveResource::ResourceInvalid (rescued by save as validation errors)
-  # * 401..499 - ActiveResource::ClientError
-  # * 500..599 - ActiveResource::ServerError
-  # * Other - ActiveResource::ConnectionError
-  #
-  # 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:
-  #
-  #   begin
-  #     ryan = Person.find(my_id)
-  #   rescue ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
-  #     redirect_to :action => 'not_found'
-  #   rescue ActiveResource::ResourceConflict, ActiveResource::ResourceInvalid
-  #     redirect_to :action => 'new'
-  #   end
-  #
-  # === Validation errors
-  #
-  # Active Resource supports validations on resources and will return errors if any these validations fail
-  # (e.g., "First name can not be blank" and so on).  These types of errors are denoted in the response by
-  # a response code of <tt>422</tt> and an XML representation of the validation errors.  The save operation will
-  # then fail (with a <tt>false</tt> return value) and the validation errors can be accessed on the resource in question.
-  #
-  #   ryan = Person.find(1)
-  #   ryan.first # => ''
-  #   ryan.save  # => false
-  #
-  #   # When
-  #   # PUT http://api.people.com:3000/people/1.xml
-  #   # is requested with invalid values, the response is:
-  #   #
-  #   # Response (422):
-  #   # <errors type="array"><error>First cannot be empty</error></errors>
-  #   #
-  #
-  #   ryan.errors.invalid?(:first)  # => true
-  #   ryan.errors.full_messages     # => ['First cannot be empty']
-  #
-  # Learn more about Active Resource's validation features in the ActiveResource::Validations documentation.
-  #
-  # === 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.
