43/**
44 * HTTP OPTIONS method.
45 * <p>
46 * The HTTP OPTIONS method is defined in section 9.2 of
47 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">RFC2616</a>:
48 * <blockquote>
49 *  The OPTIONS method represents a request for information about the
50 *  communication options available on the request/response chain
51 *  identified by the Request-URI. This method allows the client to
52 *  determine the options and/or requirements associated with a resource,
53 *  or the capabilities of a server, without implying a resource action
54 *  or initiating a resource retrieval.
