Question

$resource is awesome providing very convenient way to handle web services.
What if GET and POST have to be performed on different URLs?

For example, GET URL is http://localhost/pleaseGethere/:id
and POST URL is http://localhost/pleasePosthere without any parameter

You should be able to expose the URL as a parameter. I was able to do this:

$provide.factory('twitterResource', [
    '$resource',
    function($resource) {
        return $resource(
            'https://:url/:action',
            {
                url: 'search.twitter.com',
                action: 'search.json',
                q: '#ThingsYouSayToYourBestFriend',
                callback: 'JSON_CALLBACK'
            },
            {
                get: {
                    method: 'JSONP'
                }
            }
        );
    }
]);

Then you can overwrite the URL on your GET call.

The one caveat I found during my REALLY brief testing was that if I included http:// in the URL string, it didn’t work. I didn’t get an error message. It just did nothing.
