The HTTP 1.1 standard requires an Allow header for 405 Method Not Allowed: The response MUST include an Allow header containing a list of valid methods for the requested resource. So provide such a header when we return a 405 to the user agent. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <redacted> --- http-backend.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
