Ohai there!

When POSTing to a Chef REST endpoint, you want to *NOT* include the
resource name. So, the full URL you POST to will be:

http://yourchefserver.example.com:4000/nodes/

Using Chef::REST, this is:

rest_object.post_rest('nodes', node_data)

If it fits your usage scenario, you might want to investigate creating
Chef::Node objects and then using the Node#save method which takes
care of all of this for you.

HTH,
Dan DeLeo
