"Our demo site is running on nginx and protected by basic auth. Flash doesn't do basic auth. What do do?"
"Any suggestions for using ActiveResource to access nested resources?" One team was trying to use ActiveResource to access a nested restful web service and found the documentation lacking.

I recently blogged re ActiveResource nesting:

This might help in regards to the ActiveResource question: http://opensoul.org/2010/2/16/active-resource-in-practice
Our solution for the Nginx basic-auth problem: turn off basic auth for the one request that was being made by Flash. We actually tried that earlier but it didn't work -- it turns out that in the "location" block we added, we had to enable passenger with "passenger_enabled on;" (even though we enabled it in the enclosing block).
