Re: curl post vs. normal post?

Does entering the same path 'http://localhost/api-test/1/0.2/users/
auth.xml' from a browser give you a different error.
I think you are right in thinking this is a routing problem, but I
would assume it is a routing problem higher up the chain with your
environment not with cake.
Meaning it would appear your http://localhost/ is pointing to a cake
deployment, and that you do not have a proper alias setup in (I'll
assume apache) for your 'api-test' to point to your specific cake
deployment. So the server is hitting your root cake folder and trying
to process the request and parsing for the api-test as a controller
instead of an app folder.

What is your web environment (server, default or root directory etc.)?
How many different cakephp apps are being hosted from your localhost?
what are their aliases etc.
