Authenticating with Django REST Framework returns 405

Question

I have successfully setup TokenAuthentication and generated tokens which are sucessfully received by the user upon authentication. Unfortunately i am unable to send the token to the API without error (DRF TokenAuthentication). The token is hardcoded for test and im running with djangos runserver. I see from the response that only POST and OPTIONS is allowed, but i can curl without any problems:

curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/api-token-auth -H 'Authorization: Token a83ff8dabb7fc7b800d381fd3994dfe2051cc0c2'

The implementation

controller/Login.js:

reSignInCommand: function (aToken) {
    var me = this;

 Ext.Ajax.request({
    url: 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api-token-auth/',
    method: 'GET',
    disableCaching: false,
    timeout: 10000, 
    useDefaultXhrHeader: false,
    headers: {
        'Authorization' : 'Token a83ff8dabb7fc7b800d381fd3994dfe2051cc0c2'
    },
    success: function(response) {
        console.log("success");
    },
    failure: function(response) {
        console.log("failure");
    }
});

api/urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, url, include

urlpatterns += patterns('',
    url(r'^api-token-auth/', 'rest_framework.authtoken.views.obtain_auth_token'),
)
