Yah.  Since PostableResource is sub-classed from FileResource you end up 
with a call to FileResource.get() if you do not have a query string on 
the end of the URL since PostableResource.get() checks 
request.hasState('query') and fails thus invoking super.get(request) 
calling the get() method of FileResource which of course is misconfigured 
since i never assigned a filename to it.

I assigned a filename ot it, reluctantly.

I am trying to make a resource that will take information like a CGI 
program, meaning it will allow me to use PATHINFO to pass along 
information to the resource as well as QUERYSTRING.  I am kinda perplexed 
about where I should start.  I need a resource that will snarf up the 
request even if it's not the last "filename" in the path of the URL.
