Description

I could re-verify the behavior documented in #15424 for PUT requests. An update shows the same error message, as a POST request.
This effectively makes the REST API read-only.

The POST requests have been re-tested in 2.3.3, and there they do work!

History

#1 Updated by Marco Descher over 7 years ago

Adding the line

skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token

to the respective controller (e.g. for Users the file app/controllers/users_controller.rb) removes the problem. Wouldn't the correct solution be to verify the authenticity_token only in case of webbrowser based access?

I could track down the changeset that seems to make the problem https://bitbucket.org/redmine/redmine-trunk/commits/b823653c220c8a7f32e321b39d0bdc5f85b4689f

#3 Updated by Marco Descher over 7 years ago
