Class TraceMethod

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    HttpMethod

    public class TraceMethod
    extends HttpMethodBase
    Implements the HTTP TRACE method.

    The HTTP TRACE method is defined in section 9.6 of RFC2616:

    The TRACE method is used to invoke a remote, application-layer loop- back of the request message. The final recipient of the request SHOULD reflect the message received back to the client as the entity-body of a 200 (OK) response. The final recipient is either the origin server or the first proxy or gateway to receive a Max-Forwards value of zero (0) in the request (see section 14.31). A TRACE request MUST NOT include an entity.
