   works.
 * Using one of the post_id’s
    [http://breaking911.com/api/get_post/?post_id=37531](http://breaking911.com/api/get_post/?post_id=37531)
 * doesn’t work, I get back:
 * {
    status: “error”, error: “Include ‘id’ or ‘slug’ var in your request.” }
 * Which I am using…
 * BTW – this started happening only after moving the site to a new server.
 * Thanks

 * after a little research – it is failing in:
    singletons/introspector.php::get_current_post()
 * b/c the $_GET is empty…
 * why?
    Are there any known plugin conflicts?

 * Another important factor – the server is running lighttpd (not apache).

 * solution is adding this code to the beggining of index.php:
 *     ```
       $question_pos = strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '?');
       if ($question_pos !== false) {
               $question_pos++; // don't want the ?
               $query = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $question_pos);
               parse_str($query, $_GET);
       }
       ```
