-----------------------------------

             Summary: Document the fact that X-Requested-By HTTP header needs 
to be passed for non-GET API calls
                 Key: AMBARI-4337
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-4337
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: documentation
    Affects Versions: 1.4.2
            Reporter: Yusaku Sako
             Fix For: 1.5.0


Ambari 1.4.2 added CSRF prevention by default.
This means that non-GET calls now require the "X-Requested-By" header.  The API 
reference doc should be updated to reflect this change.
Also, we should mention that this behavior can be turned off (at the risk of 
allowing CSRF) by modifying /etc/ambari/conf/ambari.properties and setting 
api.csrfPrevention.enabled=false.
