I think this *might* work ... Otherwise google works very nice ...

<security-constraint>
  <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>cowbell</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    <http-method>TRACE</http-method>
  </web-resource-collection>
  <auth-constraint>
    <role-name></role-name>
  </auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>

I'm not sure exactly how to do this.  The Servlet Spec is pretty vague on
how to add a security-constraint denying access via an http-method.  Could
you give me an example?
Thanks.

You can add a security constraint in web.xml to disable TRACE.

Our company conducted a security audit and Tomcat was reported as
supporting TRACE and TRACK.  It said, "It has been shown that servers
supporting this method are subject to cross-site-scripting attacks,

dubbed


XST for 'Cross-Site-Tracing', when used in conjunction with various
weaknesses in browsers."  I have been assigned the task of turning off

this


support, but I have searched Google, tomcat-user archives and the Tomcat
documentation to no avail.  Does anyone know how to disable these

methods?


Thanks.
