I do not know of any document that explains the viewpoint. ÂHowever,
you can observe and test that Apache does not discriminate.
Also, Apache *will* discriminate if you use the Limit and
LimitExcept directives. ÂSo you can have either behavior. ÂSince you
can have either behavior, I hope a document is not necessary.
I apologize if I do not understand the question.

Why?
The default is that all methods are accepted. ÂThe purpose of Apache
is to serve web content in reponse to HTTP requests. ÂSo when Apache
receives an HTTP request, it tries to serve the content, unless you
tell Apache not to serve the content or unless there is some problem
with the request.
Your list of methods (above) is not complete. ÂWith the
configuration from your first email message, other methods will also
be accepted for accessing the HTML file. ÂFor example, the POST
method will be accepted to access the HTML file. ÂI can use the
"curl" program to send a POST request for /index.html on my web
server:
curl --data foo=1 --data bar=2 http://f14dev1.catseye.org/index.html
When I run the above command, the request is sucessful, even though
this is just a static HTML file (no CGI):
2011-03-30T06:40:37.984640-0400 - 172.16.168.128:42060 -
f14dev1.catseye.org:80 "POST /index.html HTTP/1.1" +200/200 876us
265/475/729 pid=1459 "curl/7.21.0 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)
libcurl/7.21.0 NSS/3.12.8.0 zlib/1.2.5 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.2.4"
"-"
(I use a special LogFormat directive, so the log line above is not
the default one that Apache usually uses. ÂBut hopefully it is
understandable: Â"172.16.168.128 contacts f14dev1.catseye.org and
makes the request 'POST /index.html' which succeeds with HTTP status
code 200")
I hope this helps. ÂPlease let me know if I am answering the wrong
questions.
