Why OPTIONS method is not supported by Couchbase Lite server.

[Suraj Khurana]

While testing you app, some pre-flight call are done by most of the browsers which sends and OPTIONS method for confirmation and in response we got 405, Method Not Allowed.

I don't found any other reason for that, there might be something I am doing wrong but as far as my knowledge and research everything is correct at my end.

Please provide your necessary feedbacks on the same.

I don't think we've implemented the OPTIONS method in CBL, but it hasn't come up as an issue before. Can you describe the specific situation where you find it's needed?

I have the same problem , when I used chrome to set a XHR request to SG REST API, I can find the request method is not POST but OPTIONS. I thought it is a CROS issue, but it is not.

It’s not the same thing; the earlier messages in this thread were talking about Couchbase Lite’s HTTP listener. Sync Gateway supports OPTIONS:

$  http OPTIONS :4984/
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
Allow: GET, HEAD

$  http OPTIONS :4984/attach-test
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
Allow: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT
Date: Fri, 03 Jul 2015 17:08:35 GMT

If you’ve found a specific case where it doesn’t, then file a bug report with details on the version and the URL.
