Support for the HTTP TRACE verb

[ekampp]

Hi.

I thought I would start a discussion here, about how to approach implementing the HTTP TRACE verb.

This would be a great tool for developers integrating to an API in a test enviroinment. And also for developers developing new clients or APIs consuming a TRACEable API.

Since Grape already responds with HEAD and OPTIONS on all endpoints, I assume that we could find some way to implement the TRACE verb in a similar fashion?

All input is appreciated.

Thanks.

I suppose doing something like this could work?

We replaced the router in #1276. Maybe we can do something about this now? /cc: @namusyaka

Sure, we can do provide the TRACE verb. I'm going to implement the new verb if @ekampp is not interested in the feature now.
