Could you clarify, though? If PROPGET or PUT is supported on some
subset of the server space, is it advertised by OPTIONS *?
Nope. * is not a resource. Since it is impossible to know the
mask of the entire resource space, HTTP does not require that
Allow be included on OPTIONS * responses. Just committed a fix.
Wow. That I would not have understood from the RFC at all.
