Because I'm less than clear on the subject, so I will ask (now that you've reminded
me)...
who's job is it to answer an M_OPTIONS request? Every module's? Then the mod_cgi
family is broken (this is what led me to discover that viewcvs.cgi hangs on HEAD,
maybe other cgi's are hanging, as well.)
If it's the handler's, we should review all the modules for this requirement.
If it's supposed to be the server, this code can disappear.
