Limit Available Methods
Web server methods are defined in section 9 of RFC 2616 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt).
If a web server does not require the implementation of all available methods,
they should be disabled.
Note: 'GET' and 'POST' are the most common methods. A majority of the others
are limited to the WebDAV protocol.
<Directory /var/www/html>
# ...
# Only allow specific methods (this command is case-sensitive!)
<LimitExcept GET POST>
Order allow,deny
</LimitExcept>
# ...
</Directory>
Parameter:
Technical Mechanism:
Minimizing the number of available methods to the web client reduces risk
by limiting the capabilities allowed by the web server.
