Do you by any accident get some error about a CSRF token missing or being invalid?

Yes, the headers show you a `403`, but check the body of the response, it should contain more clues as to _why_ you get the `403`.

Then it seems like something might be wrong with your server config itself (and not your CakePHP app).  
If CakePHP gives an error (unless you have it running in production mode) it should result in a big fat error screen.

well, then the solution is clear as day 🙂  
Send the `csrfToken` cookie with your request as well (or set the `X-CSRF-Token` header if using something like ajax).

public function beforeFilter(Event $event)  
{  
parent::beforeFilter();  
$this-\>getEventManager()-\>off($this-\>Csrf);  
}  
but no success

hm… I see…

well, according to the cookbook, you are using the right code… so it must be going wrong somewhere else…
