+ allowed is a bitvector of the allowed methods.
+
+ A handler must ensure that the request method is one that
+ it is capable of handling. Generally modules should DECLINE
+ any request methods they do not handle. Prior to aborting the
+ handler like this the handler should set r->allowed to the list
+ of methods that it is willing to handle. This bitvector is used
+ to construct the "Allow:" header required for OPTIONS requests,
+ and METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED and NOT_IMPLEMENTED status codes.
+
+ Since the default_handler deals with OPTIONS, all modules can
+ usually decline to deal with OPTIONS. TRACE is always allowed,
+ modules don't need to set it explicitly.
+
+ Since the default_handler will always handle a GET, a
+ module which does *not* implement GET should probably return
+ METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED. Unfortunately this means that a Script GET
+ handler can't be installed by mod_actions.
