I have set up a completely plain Apache web server (version 2.4.7) on Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 LTS.
I want to enable other HTTP methods such as PUT
and DELETE
for some testing purposes. I edited my /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
file and added the directive
<Location />
<LimitExcept GET HEAD POST OPTIONS DELETE PUT>
Allow from all
</LimitExcept>
</Location>
before restarting Apache.
However, if I use Telnet and type OPTIONS / HTTP/1.0
I do only get Allow: GET,HEAD,POST,OPTIONS
back, and not the methods I wanted such as PUT
. What should I do to enable these methods?
