Drupal 7 - accessing content through url alias over ReST

I have a Drupal 7 with Pathauto and restws modules. I am able to configure Pathauto module to create a url alias for my content type so now the content that I could access with url http://mycms.org/mydrupal/node/4 is accessible using http://mycms.org/mydrupal/content/1-sampleID.

Also, I am able to access the content over ReST using http://mycms.org/mydrupal/node/4.json. However i need to access the content over ReST api using the url alias, say, http://mycms.org/mydrupal/content/1-sampleID.json. When I try doing this, I get a 404 error.

I am new to Drupal and PHP. Can someone please help me fix this issue? Do I need some custom Drupal module that could help me expose my contents over ReST api through the defined url aliases.
