I have come accross a problem trying to handle an OPTIONS HTTP method in my servlet. My servlet does not get invoked when Dav Explorer uses this method. I have included the only posting I've been able to find as a reference. It was posted in April of 2000 where Remy Maucherat makes mention that his servlet is not invoked when using the OPTIONS HTTP method. Is this still an issue? I seem to have the problem he refers to and I haven't been able to find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'll look into that problem later > today, if you don't mind. There is nothing in Catalina itself that should care about which HTTP method was used. There might be something inside javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet itself that is swallowing them. At the moment, I've left a log() call active inside StandardWrapperValve that will log the HTTP method and request URI it's using, just before calling the service() method of the servlet. That should help determine where the problem lies. > > You can see it working using a standard browser, though.
