--- Comment #11 from Faidon Liambotis <[email protected]> ---
Indeed, our Squid config blocks OPTIONS requests. This is definitely
deliberate, with OPTIONS being explicitly singled out and seems to be there for
many years.
I'll ask around to find out the rationale behind it -- please do as well, Brion
might remember :) We need to find out soon anyway, since we're the Varnish
switch is imminent.

acl options method OPTIONS
[...]
<? if ( $upload ): ?>
# Deny HTTP methods other than GET/HEAD
http_access deny !gethead
<? else: ?>
# Deny HTTP OPTIONS method requests
http_access deny options
<? endif ?>

What is the use case for this BTW? I know this is for CORS preflight requests,
but what specifically? (from which domain to which, what it's going to be used
for etc.)
