With spring security causing "Request method 'POST' not supported"

See original GitHub issue

Spring Boot: 1.5.16 micrometer: 1.1.0

As reported on Slack I seem to be getting the following error when using micrometer with spring security.

Security continues to work despite this error so this only affects the metric collection right now. I have a suspicion it might be to down with the filter chain order. Yet to determine this.

Im not doing anything special in terms of spring security.

Or is this by design ?
