Bug Description

This follows on from bug 1643552 ("API renderings do not contain fields necessary to construct self-referential URI") and is a bug with the fix created for that bug.

Piston asks handler classes for resource_uri information but then consults Django's URL patterns to get the field names to use in each resource_uri template it generates, i.e. it discards the information that the handler gives it.

These resource_uri templates are given to clients in the API description document. For some handlers these templates (like "/foo/{bar}/alice") contain names that do not match up to the fields that the handler renders of their models, so a self-referential URI still cannot be calculated even though we are now providing all the information.
