# response, with the newly created cake's uri in 'Location' header.
# To do this we set the 'response_cls' argument to 'http.HttpCreated'
# and add a 'location' key to 'response_kwargs' dict.
# This is equilivant to returning "cake_form.save(), created"
# In this case, the value passed into the location parameter of our
# 'HttpCreated' response will be a callable. When invoked it will be
# passed one parameter, the entity created from our cake object.
# And, just for fun, let's set 'include_entity' to False.
# So again, we'll return HTTP 201 (CREATED), with a Location header,
# the X-The-Cake-Is-A-Lie header, and no entity body.
