Hi Tom, The Qpid Broker-J supports configuring CORS settings to allow access to REST API from different origins. This can be done via HTTP management attributes (corsAllowOrigins,corsAllowMethods,corsAllowHeaders,corsAllowCredentials). Though, by default, the origin(s), allowed headers and methods are not set. Thus, it is actually safe to disable the OPTIONS method when no original related attribute is set. We will look into adding corresponding changes into version 8.0.6.
