Summary

0004218: HTTP OPTIONS request to non-existent file or directory caused 501 (and alert in /resin-admin)

Description

curl -v -X OPTIONS http://localhost:8080/ [^]

=> works fine, Resin respons "HTTP/1.1 200 OK". Nothing to complain about.

curl -v -X OPTIONS http://localhost:8080/bogus/ [^]

=> In this case, Resin responds "HTTP/1.1 501 Method not implemented"

Two Issues:

1.) The 501 is counted as a 500 Issue in the /resin-admin (Summary tab and WebApp tab).

This is quite annoying as it pulls your attention to check the logs for any issues with the affected web-app when the last "500" did just happened a short time ago -> but you can't find it in any of your logs, but in the access.log there is for example such an entry:
... "OPTIONS /downloads HTTP/1.1" 501 162 "-" "Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/6.1.7600"

2.) Why 501 and not 404 for such a Request to a non existent file or folder?

Additional Information

While the above applies for Resin Professional 3.1.10, the same behaviour can be observed with Resin 4.0.9.
