Jquery POST giving 403 forbidden error in spring mvc

Question

I want to make a ajax call using $.POST. But I am getting 403 error. But GET works perfectly fine. My code is:

var url = \"/xyz/abc/subscribe?name=\"+name;
$

If you look to CSRFilter source code, you will see that the filter is waiting for csrfToken on header or query parameter. In my configuration, the key "_csrf" was the right key in query parameter. So, I added this parameter in my post call.

      var csrfCookie = getCsrfCookie();
    		alert(csrfCookie);
    		
    	function getCsrfCookie()
    	{
    		var ret = "";
    		var tab = document.cookie.split(";");
    		
    		if(tab.length>0){
    			var tab1 = tab[0].split("=");
    			if(tab1.length>1)
    			{
    				ret =tab1[1];
    			}
    		}
    		return ret;
    	}
    	
    	$http.post('/testPost?_csrf='+csrfCookie).success(function (response) {
             alert("post : "+response);
              return response;
          });

With this, it works for me.
