(else (bad-request "Invalid method: ~a" (substring str start end)))))
Another problem with the old implementation – AFAICT, this does a “400 Bad Request”. However, at least when the syntax/grammar/... is correct, it should be a 501 instead. >An origin server that receives a request method that is unrecognized or not >implemented SHOULD respond with the 501 (Not Implemented) status code. An >origin server that receives a request method that is recognized and >implemented, but not allowed for the target resource, SHOULD respond with the >405 (Method Not Allowed) status code. Given the proposal to (in this procedure) allow all methods (at least all grammatical methods) in a new implementation, it seems this won’t be this method’s responsibility anymore, though.
