CakePHP REST service does not recognize POST

[frederikjacques]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get my REST services up and running, the routing works, but when i do a POST to my service, the RequestHandler->isPost() function returns false.

Could somebody help me out what I'm doing wrong???

Routes.php

Router::connect(

    '/authenticate',

    array(

        'controller' => 'users',

        'action' => 'login',

        '[method]' => 'POST')

);

Router::parseExtensions('json');

 Login function in UsersController.php (for demo purpose i just return if it detects a post or not)

 if( $this->RequestHandler->isPost() ) {
            $this->set('loginResult', 'post');
            $this->set('_serialize', array('loginResult'));
 }else{
            $this->set('loginResult', 'no post');
            $this->set('_serialize', array('loginResult'));
 }

Now I use REST Console extension in Chrome to do a call to my REST service (http://path_to_localhost_website/authenticate)

This is the result returned:

Request Headers

1. Accept: application/json
2. Content-Type: application/json
3. Connection: keep-alive
4. Origin: chrome-extension: //rest-console-id

6. "password": "fd12d90f5670211f5bd4f2816baa7299eb256e1f"
7. }

Response Headers

6. Server: Apache
7. Content-Type: application/json
8. Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=99

Response Body:

{ "loginResult": "no post" }

I hope somebody can help me out, because it is driving me mad :-)

Create a form and post it to the URL and work forwards from there. -
could be something wrong with the extension.

The ->isPost() method is very simple and just uses
$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] to check the method

pr($this->RequestHandler)
just above
if( $this->RequestHandler->isPost() ) {

What is the output?

By the way, I use this to check post
$this->request->is('post')
