Sails.js custom route raises 500 forbidden for post requests

Question

I have a user controller method like:

create: function( req, res ){ res.json({name:"Cool Name"}); }

But when use this

socket.post("/user/create", {
  myName: "John Doe"}, function(r){ console.log(r) });

I get an error message "Forbidden" with status code 500. Its working fine when I make normal post request. Can you please throw some light on this.

You are posting to /user/create, which is the "shortcut" create URL. Shortcuts are accessed with the GET method (and should generally be turned off in production). To create a user via POST, use the /user URL:

socket.post("/user", {myName: "John Doe"}, function(r){ console.log(r) });
