Nicely done :) I'm not entirely sure why Steve has chosen to use his  
own authentication rather than just going with  
restful_authentication. Seems like it would take some of the work out  
of things. I must admit I haven't really looked into it but I suppose  
there must be a reason. It's weird how random it was though. Did you  
reproduce the error before you fixed it. It must have taken certain  
conditions to happen cause I was traveling along nicely before it  
happened and I think most other people who have upgraded to the 2.2.2  
version haven't had the issue. I think Steve would be reluctant to  
pull unless you could adequately explain why this wasn't based on  
some bizarre set of circumstances. I think more so considering this  
is in a plugin that I assume he uses in other projects.

Just a thought :)
