404 error when posting form data in cakephp

I have a RESTful api in a cakephp app that returns json data. I am testing it with firefox REST Client. The GET requests work fine, but I am getting 404 errors I dont understand when posting form data. The failing requests look like this:

enter image description here.

If I change the content-type to "text/html" I don't get a 404 anymore, although I do not get the expected response, presumably because the form data is not being posted.

Any ideas what's going on?

I figured out the problem. The cakephp security component needed the csrf token. Setting "validatePost" to false on that compoment fixed the issue.
