    Hi p

    It says here that the TRACE method cannot be limited.

my bad, apologies.
Steve is right above.

    ========================================================================

    ===========================================
    <Limit> directive
    Syntax: <Limit method [method] ... > ... </Limit>
    Context: any
    Status: core
    Access controls are normally effective for all access methods, and this
    is the usual desired behavior. In the general case, access control
    directives should not be placed within a <limit> section.

    The purpose of the <Limit> directive is to restrict the effect of the
    access controls to the nominated HTTP methods. For all other methods,
    the access restrictions that are enclosed in the <Limit> bracket will
    have no effect. The following example applies the access control
    only to
    the methods POST, PUT, and DELETE, leaving all other methods
    unprotected:

    <Limit POST PUT DELETE>
    Require valid-user
    </Limit>
    The method names listed can be one or more of: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE,
    CONNECT, OPTIONS, PATCH, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MKCOL, COPY, MOVE, LOCK,
    and UNLOCK. The method name is case-sensitive. If GET is used it will
    also restrict HEAD requests. The TRACE method cannot be limited.

    Warning: A <LimitExcept> section should always be used in preference to
    a <Limit> section when restricting access, since a <LimitExcept> section
    provides protection against arbitrary methods.
