Backbone.js sents an POST on updated objects instead of an PUT.

I think this is because mongoDB uses _id instead of id.

How do I say backbone.js to use _id instead of id?

I already tried some server-side change but I think it would be easier just to say that backbone should use another attribute as id.
MongoDB: output 'id' instead of '_id'

    From the fine manual http://backbonejs.org/#Model-idAttribute

    idAttribute model.idAttribute

    A model’s unique identifier is stored under the id attribute. If you’re directly communicating with a
    backend (CouchDB, MongoDB) that uses a different unique key, you may
    set a Model’s idAttribute to transparently map from that key to id.
