Remove PUT and DELETE methods from an OPTIONS request if readOnly is true
Currently ```DefaultServlet``` is returning all HTTP methods for an OPTIONS
call even when the **readOnly** flag is true.
Example:
```
$ curl -v -X OPTIONS localhost:8080
....
< Allow: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS
....
```
It should be the following instead if the **readOnly** flag is **true**.
```
$ curl -v -X OPTIONS localhost:8080
....
< Allow: GET, HEAD, POST, OPTIONS
....
```
As a side note I don't understand the following.
* Why is a POST allowed when **readOnly** is true?
* Why does a POST call GET internally?
