Restkit sending Get request instead of Post - ios

Question

I'm just starting to use Restkit and am trying to send a regular POST request "serverUrl/account/authenticate.xml?OPTIONS" to get a response as XML. This is the code I use to call the URL:
-(void) function{
// OBJECT MANAGER
RKObjectManager* manager = [RKObjectManager objectManagerWithBaseURL:serverUrl];
[manager.router routeClass:[CBUser class] toResourcePath:#"/account/authenticate" forMethod:RKRequestMethodPOST];
// OBJECT MAPPING
RKObjectMapping* mapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[CBUser class]];
mapping = [manager.mappingProvider objectMappingForKeyPath:#"user"];
[mapping mapKeyPath:#"id" toAttribute:#"userId"];
[manager loadObjectsAtResourcePath:str objectMapping:mapping delegate:self];
}
// DELEGATE
- (void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader*)objectLoader didLoadObjects:(NSArray*)objects {
CBUser* user = [objects objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(#"Loaded Contact ID #%# -> Firstname: %#, Lastname: %#", user.userId, user.firstname, user.lastname);
}
- (void)objectLoader:(RKObjectLoader*)objectLoader didFailWithError:(NSError*)error {
NSLog(#"Encountered an error: %#", error);
}
Looking at the server log it seems it receives a GET request instead of a POST even though I'm using the "RKRequestMethodPOST" option.
Here is my error form my logs:
Started GET "/account/authenticate.xml?commit=Login&authenticity_token=iPhone&user%5Bpassword=XXXXX&user%5Bemail=XXXXXXX%5D&user%5Bdevice_token=XXXXXXX" for 192.168.106.30 at 2012-01-25 19:20:03 -0800

What am I missing?

Hopefully this code snippet of my app will help. You setup your mappings, say in your delegate. Note the "forMethod"
RKObjectRouter *router;
RKObjectMapping* createAccountSerializationMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Cr eateAccount class]];
[createAccountSerializationMapping mapAttributes:#"email", #"pwd", #"uname", nil];
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager].mappingProvider setSerializationMapping:createAccountSerializationMapping forClass:[CreateAccount class]];
router = [RKObjectRouter new] ;
[router routeClass:[CreateAccount class] toResourcePath:#"/registration/rest/users/create_account" forMethod:RKRequestMethodPOST];
[RKObjectManager sharedManager].router = router;
and then later, when you want to post an object
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] postObject:user delegate:self];
