Yes, browsers by default do not send requested params (eg. request 
method). Use curl to test your server.
eg

curl -u YOURUSERNAME:PASSWORD -H "Content-Type: application/json" 
"http://localhost:3000/REST/metadata"

curl by default set request method to GET.
curl -u YOURUSERNAME:PASSWORD -H "Content-Type: application/json"  -X 
GET "http://localhost:3000/REST/metadata"

If this results in error 400-40xx then you must include connection after 
REST eg  http://localhost:3000/REST/YOURDEFAULTCONNECTIONNAME/metadata
