I'm curious - why would you need the options method ?

Obviously, as you found, tomcat does not support it ( and many other
servers ), and I never heard of any use of it, even if it is in the
spec.

Well, in theory servlets could respond to 'options' method if they
choose to - and so could the default servlet.

Whoa!!!  Most clients rely on this to determine if, for example, the
server supports DAV.  OPTIONS absolutely must be supported, per spec,
and it's absense breaks, for example, some of the download managers
which will use DAV retrieval using PROPGET of a given document when
available, and simple GET when not.
