Hiawatha version: 9.1
Operating System: embedded linux (arm9) V3.6

This may be a very simple question. Anyway, I searched the whole website and couldn't find an answer to this question. Your version history reads that support for the OPTIONS method has been removed in version 8.2. Does that mean that I don't have a chance to do anything else than GET when using a web browser to connect to the web server?
Or is there something I can do to re-enable the OPTIONS method?
We've got a nice little application that needs to use the POST method but as it's running using chrome browser, chrome first sends OPTIONS (like most of the browsers seem to do).

GET and POST are always supported. TRACE, PUT and DELETE when enabled. The rest is not supported, but if your web application supports those, you can enabled them via 'WebDAVapp = yes'.

Most browsers don't send OPTIONS, it's for DAV applications only.
