Why __RequestVerificationToken in not found in Mono 4.2.2

ASP.NET MVC4 application uses cross-site forgery prevention according to MVC4 doc.

In form there is hidden variable

Browsers posts cookie

__RequestVerificationToken

Post method hander is decorated with

Attributes. https protocil is ised. It worked earlier. After application was upgraded in submitting form in some cases produces exception

    System.Web.Mvc.HttpAntiForgeryException
    The required anti-forgery cookie "__RequestVerificationToken" is not present.

From you description, you are telling Action method to check the token but your form is not sending it, hence the missing __RequestVerificationToken

__RequestVerificationToken is generated by calling helper method @Html.AntiForgeryToken() in form

For example:

@using (Html.BeginForm("Manage", "Account")) { @Html.AntiForgeryToken() }
