I am trying to set the allowed bitmask in a custom request handler when I receive the OPTIONS method (and when I receive a method request for a method I do not support).
I have followed the example in http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestRec.html#C_allowed_ but Apache always returns "Allow: GET,HEAD,POST,OPTIONS,TRACE" in the header irrespective of what options I set. For example, lets say I only accept PUT to try to restrict the available options to OPTIONS, TRACE, and PUT. I have tried both $r->allowed($r->allowed | (1<< Apache2::Const::M_PUT)); and $r->allowed(1<<Apache2::Const::M_PUT); with a return of Apache2::Const::DECLINED in either case in my handler. Neither ends up modifying the supported options sent to the client. In tha handler if I print the return value of $r->allowed: print $r->allowed(1<<Apache2::Const::M_PUT) . "\n"; print $r->allowed() . "\n"; return Apache2::Const::DECLINED; I get: 1 2 So the record is being updated, but for some reason Apache is not basing its response to the client off of the record. Can anyone provide any insight into why I am unable to modify the list of request methods my handler is capable of servicing? thanks, Christopher
