The RESTAdapter doesn't append a slash "/" to the end of collection requests, which Django REST is expecting. I have worked around the problem by overwriting the buildURL method of the RESTAdapter using the following:

buildURL: function(type, id) {
 var url = this._super(type, id);
 if (url.charAt(url.length -1) !== '/') {
 url += '/';
 }
 return url;
}

Is it possible to change the API behaviour within the scope of this package? If not, then it would seem this RESTAdapter change is required.
