CakePHP REST service does not recognize POST

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:

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