# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# | Disable TRACE HTTP Method |
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

# Prevent Apache from responding to `TRACE` HTTP request.
#
# The TRACE method, while apparently harmless, can be successfully
# leveraged in some scenarios to steal legitimate users' credentials
#
# Modern browsers now prevent TRACE requests being made via JavaScript,
# however, other ways of sending TRACE requests with browsers have been
# discovered, such as using Java.
#
# (!) The `TraceEnable` directive will only work in the main server
# configuration file, so don't try to enable it in the `.htaccess` file!
