Just noticed something bizarre in tracking down a WebDAV bug report. In some cases Tomcat appears to swallow the Allow: header that leaves Restlet in response to an OPTIONS request. The Allow: header of the response is populated, and I tracked it all the way down through ServletCall and verified Restlet is doing the right thing. But, the OPTIONS response sent to the client from Tomcat is stripped of this and other useful headers (like DAV: 1,2).
I haven't yet been able to drill into versions and configurations where this might be true, and propose a Tomcat solution, but thought I would post this to the list as a bit of a placeholder and bait for anyone Googling on the topic to find. If anyone else has seen it and can point me in the right direction, the feedback is very welcome. - Rob
