RFC2616 is clear that: 1. OPTIONS * is allowed. 2. OPTIONS can be proxied.
However, it's not clear that OPTIONS * can be proxied, given that there's no natural URL representation of it (* != /*). The Co-Advisor suite has a test case to proxy OPTIONS * using: OPTIONS * HTTP/1.1\r\n Host: [remote target host]\r\n \r\n Unfortunately PR#43519 is obscuring the Co-Advisor test case (which purports to be testing our handline of Max-Forwards) by returning 403. It's not at all clear to me whether that syntax should be supported. Anyone? -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/
