Hey, all-
As far as I can tell, there is no good way to access the headers of a
successful POST made via jquery.ajax. So, two things:

(1) everything I know about jquery I've learned in the past 7 hours.
So that last statement may be wrong; if anyone here can clarify, that
would be terrific. :)

(2) if I'm correct, and I can't get to that header, then when I create
a new action with a POST to todos.xml from jquery.ajax, I can't
actually take someone to the action they've just created, or otherwise
programatically access it/modify it/etc., since that information is in
the location header rather than in the data. As I understand best
practices for POST[1], it would be good to return the URI (or perhaps
even simpler just the action's ID number?) in the response, not just
in the header. I'd be much obliged for my little project if someone
would help that happen in git, or at least point me at the right place
to make it happen.

Thanks-
Luis

[1] See RFC 2616 sec. 9.5, which says "If a resource has been created
on the origin server, the response SHOULD be 201 (Created) and contain
an entity which describes the status of the request and refers to the
new resource, **and** a Location header" (emphasis mine)
