Exclude Columns doesn't appear to work for "nested" api calls.

[drmclean]

If I have a table of Computers and a table of Computer types I can define a relationship between ComputerTypes and Computers and then define API endpoints using manager.create_api()

If I then do:

 `GET /api/Computer/{id}`

It will return the info for the Computer with id={id} AND include the info from the related ComputerType (as expected).

If I add exclude_columns = ['ComputerType'] I no longer get the related ComputerType info. (again as expected)

However, if I do:
GET /api/Computer/{id}/ComputerType

Then it returns all of the relevant data from the ComputerType table AND the data from the related computer! I can't seem to prevent it doing this no matter what I exclude from either Computer or ComputerType.

Further more, if I were to include columns explicitly and only include the {id} column on both ComputerType and Computer tables then the following behaviour occurs:

GET /api/Computer : returns all Computer id's only
GET/api/Computer/{id} : returns the id of Computer with id={id} only
GET/api/ComputerType : returns the id's of all ComputerType's only
GET/api/ComputerType/{id}: returns the id of the ComputerType with id={id}

GET/api/Computer/{id}/ComputerType : returns me ALL info from row of the relevant ComputerType AND all information from the row of the relevant computer.

It seems like there is a way to include/exclude data from an endpoints like :
/api/table
or
/api/table/{id}

but no way to include or exclude from endpoints like:
/api/table/{id}/related_table

Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong?

I believe this is a duplicate of issue #211; if not, please reopen.

Hi thanks very much for the response and sorry for duplicating a question.
I'm not sure what to do with the knowledge that someone else also has this issue and has branched the repo.

Is the branch merged back? What steps should I go through to achieve an implementation where if I query /api/Computer/Id/ComputerType I actually get what I want (data on the type if computer/{id}) rather than loads of related info that I don't actually want?
