TRACE and Apache 2.x

["Jeroen Vriezen" <jeroen.vriezen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Currently we are using Apache 2.0.46. On the 1.3.x version we always used the following mod_rewrite rule to disable the TRACE option:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRACE
    RewriteRule .* - [F]

When using these rules on Apache 2.0.46, TRACE is still possible. Beside the fact that the whole TRACK & TRACE
"security issue" is not that interesting, I still wonder how TRACE can be disabled in Apache 
2.0.46. I've also tried the TraceEnable option but that
options seems to be supported in 2.0.55 and later only.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Kind Regards,

Jeroen.
