This is really a Request-For-Comments, I'm not proposing anything. I'm looking into resolving Bug #21454.
At the moment, requests for e.g: OPTIONS * HTTP/1.1 TRACE * HTTP/1.1 get properly handled by TC 5 (thanks to Keith's patch), buy passing them to DefaultServlet. However, the '*' URL is really a HTTP Protocol URL, so it seems to me that it really should be handled by the Connector instead of the Servlet. On the other hand, we have access to the rich Servlet-API implementations (Ok, so I don't in 3.3-land, but I can fake it ;-). So my problem is that I can't see the correct route to go here.
Opinions?
I'm only talking about OPTIONS here. TRACE is protocol specific for all URLs (but I don't care about it ;-) ).
I think it should be handled by the servlet, because for example you can replace the default servlet by the WebDAV servlet, and then it should return the DAV methods.
