[PATCH v2] http-backend: provide Allow header for 405

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The HTTP 1.1 standard requires an Allow header for 405 Method Not Allowed:

  The response MUST include an Allow header containing a list of valid methods
  for the requested resource.

So provide such a header when we return a 405 to the user agent.
