Hello,

please be aware that you need to handle the CSRF token manually when not using the Alfresco.util.Ajax utility, otherwise Share may reject a request due to missing / unmatching CSRF token in request. Please see <a href="http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/ewinlof/2013/03/11/introducing-the-new-csrf-filter-in-alfresco-share/">Introducing the new CSRF filter in Alfresco</a> for details. Also note a special issue that affects POST request in a tabbed browsing scenario: <a href="https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-20815">ALF-20815</a>.

Regards
Axel

Thank you for your answer, CSRF token handling was the problem.
