36/**
37 * HTTP TRACE method.
38 * <p>
39 * The HTTP TRACE method is defined in section 9.6 of
40 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">RFC2616</a>:
41 * <blockquote>
42 *  The TRACE method is used to invoke a remote, application-layer loop-
43 *  back of the request message. The final recipient of the request
44 *  SHOULD reflect the message received back to the client as the
45 *  entity-body of a 200 (OK) response. The final recipient is either the
46 *  origin server or the first proxy or gateway to receive a Max-Forwards
47 *  value of zero (0) in the request (see section 14.31). A TRACE request
48 *  MUST NOT include an entity.
49 * </blockquote>
