Disabling the HTTP TRACE method in JBoss EAP doesn't appear to work

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When the jboss-web.deployer option on the connector to stop the trace option is set (allowTrace="false"), if you telnet to that port with an OPTIONS query, it still lists TRACE as a valid option
  • An HTTP OPTIONS query shows TRACE even when it is marked as disabled

Environment

  • Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
