Thanks Pat,

Every request within the site has to be done by an authenticated user
anyways so the sites partially secure as is. But CSRF attacks work by
actually using the users logged in session details, so normal
authentication doesn't protect it.

What I'm thinking is that it would at least be a bit safer if I could
somehow leave the CSRF protection on for all non XML requests.. This
would still leave the method open to attack but would at least reduce
the probability of it happening.. am looking into this now.

Kind Regards,

Lucas
