HTTP OPTIONS method.

The HTTP OPTIONS method is defined in section 9.2 of
RFC2616:


 The OPTIONS method represents a request for information about the
 communication options available on the request/response chain
 identified by the Request-URI. This method allows the client to
 determine the options and/or requirements associated with a resource,
 or the capabilities of a server, without implying a resource action
 or initiating a resource retrieval.

Since:
4.0/**
