No route found for "GET /user/register": Method Not Allowed (Allow: POST)

Question

When i go to : http://mysite.com/web/app_dev.php/user/register

I am getting:

MethodNotAllowedHttpException: No route found for "GET /user/register": Method Not Allowed (Allow: POST) 

Here is my code:

MainUserBundle_register:
    pattern:  /user/register/
    defaults: { _controller: MainUserBundle:UserAuthWebService:register, _format:json}
    requirements:
        _method:  POST

my controller is:

 public function registerAction($email="test", $username="test", $password="test123")
    {


       //some code

    }

Why?

You can restrict a route to only match a given HTTP method. In the code you posted the route will only match POST requests. You will need to allow POST and GET, or remove the requirement all together.

MainUserBundle_register:
    pattern:  /user/register/
    defaults: { _controller: MainUserBundle:UserAuthWebService:register, _format:json}
    requirements:
        _method:  POST|GET
