** This only occurs if I use skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, :only => :create

** If I use the other skip_before_filter posted in sessions below, it works fine.

routes.rb

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :omniauth_callbacks => "users/omniauth_callbacks", :sessions => "users/sessions", :registrations => "users/registrations" }
  

sessions_controller.rb

class Users::SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController

  skip_authorization_check #cancan

  # This does not work
  #skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, :only => :create

  # This works below
  skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, :if => Proc.new { |c| c.request.format == 'text/html' }
