Hi,

I am using PaxWeb 7.2.x and servlet registration using whiteboard.
By default Jetty allows to call OPTIONS http method which returns:

*Allow*: GET, HEAD, POST, TRACE, OPTIONS
For other known methods a proper 403 error is returned.
For other unknown methods (eg. BLABLA) 501 is returned (maybe not the best 
options from security reasons).
For TRACE method PaxWeb raises an exception and return 500 (I don't not why 
it is blocked in PaxWeb code?).

I need to limit this list of allowed methods for my app, eg. only to: GET, 
POST.
And then server should return 403 for all others.

I can implement a dedicated servlet filter for this, but maybe it is 
another a better way to do this? Especially when the OPTIONS method will be 
available server should return only configured Allowed methods in response 
header.

Is there any options for doing this in PaxWeb 7 using whiteboard? Or maybe 
it should be done directly in Jetty configuration using jetty.xml?
