allow_options

Property Manager name: Allow OPTIONS
Behavior version: The v2024-05-31 rule format supports the allow_options behavior v1.1.
Rule format status: GA, stable
Access: Read/Write
Allowed in includes: Yes

GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS requests are allowed by default. All other HTTP methods result in a 501 error. For full support of Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), you need to allow requests that use the OPTIONS method. If you're using the cors_support behavior, do not disable OPTIONS requests. The response to an OPTIONS request is not cached, so the request always goes through the Akamai network to your origin, unless you use the construct_response behavior to send responses directly from the Akamai network. See also the allow_delete, allow_patch, allow_post, and allow_put behaviors.
