301 Moved Permanently Response

The RESTAdapter doesn't append a slash "/" to the end of collection requests, which Django REST is expecting. I have worked around the problem by overwriting the buildURL method of the RESTAdapter using the following:

buildURL: function(type, id) {
    var url = this._super(type, id);
    if (url.charAt(url.length -1) !== '/') {
        url += '/';
    }
    return url;
}

Is it possible to change the API behaviour within the scope of this package? If not, then it would seem this RESTAdapter change is required.

There's two ways around this as far as I know.

1. If you are using Django Rest Framework's SimpleRouter then instantiate it like so router = routers.SimpleRouter(trailing_slash=False) and routes it generates won't require a trailing slash. If you aren't using SimpleRouter then set APPEND_SLASH = False and modify your url regex to match routes without a trailing slash.
2. Edit the Ember Data application adapter to add the trailing slash like you did.

I'll add your example to the documentation for anyone else that has this problem and may not understand where it comes from.

Sounds good, Jerel. I was thinking that a sample Ember app would be a great addition too. Especially with examples showing relationships between models. What do you think?

I agree that it would be nice to have a full Ember app for an example. However I don't have the time to do it at the moment, perhaps someone else can put one up or I can open source a project soon.
