A method to save (POST) or update (PUT) a resource. It delegates to create if a new object, update if it is existing. If the response to the save includes a body, it will be assumed that this body is XML for the final object as it looked after the save (which would include attributes like created_at that weren’t part of the original submit).

Examples

my_company = Company.new(:name => 'RoleModel Software', :owner => 'Ken Auer', :size => 2)
my_company.new?
# => true
my_company.save
# => POST /companies/ (create)

my_company.new?
# => false
my_company.size = 10
my_company.save
# => PUT /companies/1 (update)
