title: how to return the ID of a resource which was created by ajax HTTP POST to the client
body: <p>I'm wondering whether there is a standardized way to get the identity (id/hash/whatever) of the object/resource which was just created on the server via POST. Is there some HTTP header which can be set?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using jquery right now, and what I do is to output the id of the created object into a hidden html div. After getting the response on the client, I parse the html, and retrieve the id. That seems kind of awkward to me. Any ideas? </p>
