 public OptionsMethod(String uri) 
{
        super(uri);
}

Constructor specifying a URI.

Parameters:

uri - either an absolute or relative URI

since: 1.0 -

 public Enumeration getAllowedMethods() 
{
        checkUsed();
        return methodsAllowed.elements();
}

Get a list of allowed methods.

 public String getName() 
{
    // --------------------------------------------------------- Public Methods
        return "OPTIONS";
}

Get the name.

 public boolean isAllowed(String method) 
{
        checkUsed();
        return methodsAllowed.contains(method);
}

Is the specified method allowed ?

 public boolean needContentLength() 
{
        return false;
}

Return true if the method needs a content-length header in the request.

 protected  void processResponseHeaders(HttpState state,
    HttpConnection conn) 
{
        LOG.trace("enter OptionsMethod.processResponseHeaders(HttpState, HttpConnection)");
        Header allowHeader = getResponseHeader("allow");
        if (allowHeader != null) {
            String allowHeaderValue = allowHeader.getValue();
            StringTokenizer tokenizer =
                new StringTokenizer(allowHeaderValue, ",");
            while (tokenizer.hasMoreElements()) {
                String methodAllowed =
                    tokenizer.nextToken().trim().toUpperCase();
                methodsAllowed.addElement(methodAllowed);
            }
        }
}

This implementation will parse the Allow header to obtain the set of methods supported by the resource identified by the Request-URI.
