Why handle 'OPTIONS *' different here?
Isn't that 'just another simple HTTP/1.1 request'?
>From what I read about that request, it is a recommended easy request if you
don't have anything to send yourself in this stage. (With "HEAD /" as
alternative).
If not required I would recommend not hardcoding specific behavior on this
request. There is not much that makes it that different from "GET /" or
"HEAD /", or every other request that doesn't have a request body.
