tastypie returns 401 unauthorized even when using Authorization class

What i trying to do is setup a simple custom Resource, something as follows:

MailResource(Resource):
    to = fields.CharField(attribute='To')
    subject = fields.CharField(attribute='Subject')
    message = fields.CharField(attribute='Message')

    class Meta:
        resource_name = 'mail'
        allowed_methods = ['post']
        authorization = Authorization()

        def detail_uri_kwargs(self, bundle_or_obj):
            kwargs = {}
            if isinstance(bundle_or_obj, Bundle):
                kwargs['pk'] = bundle_or_obj.obj.uuid
            else:
                kwargs['pk'] = bundle_or_obj.uuid
            return kwargs

        def obj_create(self, bundle, request=None, **kwargs):
            print bundle.obj
            print request
            print kwargs
            # Create the object
            return bundle

But when i make a test post request using curl, i always get 401 UNAUTHORIZED error. why so ? Isn't Authorization() class is meant to return true for is_authorized method. The documentation says Authorization() is :

The no-op authorization option, no permissions checks are performed.

then why is it failing ?

Update:

I also tried a custom authorization class which always return True in the is_authorized method no matter what, but it still raises 401 UNAUTHORIZED error. Any Clues?

I have been facing the same issue. Looks like SessionAuthentication is not supposed to work with HTTP POST.

Have explained more here

Does SessionAuthentication work in Tastypie for HTTP POST?
