Resource save operations should follow Location if the server response is 201 Created

[trajano]

As per the HTTP spec for the 201 Created states, it must have the most specific URI for the resource given in the Location header field.

Therefore it should try to follow the Location field when a 201 status code is returned for non-GET operations.

At the moment I have used the following workaround:

SomeModel.save({ "name": "Archie" },
  function (object, responseHeaders) {
    $http.get(responseHeaders("Location")).success(
      function (newObject) {
        // real success with an object containing IDs.
      });
  },
  function (error) {
    // failure
  }
);

I have put in more details on http://www.trajano.net/2013/05/201-created-with-angular-resource/
