<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>This module makes it easy to restrict what HTTP methods can
used on an server. The most common configuration would be:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">
&lt;Location /&gt;
AllowMethods GET POST OPTIONS
&lt;/Location&gt;
</pre>

<p>The HTTP-methods are case sensitive, and are generally as per
RFC given in upper case. The GET and HEAD methods are treated as
equivalent. The <code>reset</code> keyword can be used
turn off <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_allowmethods.html">mod_allowmethods</a></code> in a deeper nested context:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">
&lt;Location /svn&gt;
AllowMethods reset
&lt;/Location&gt;
</pre>
<div class="note"><h3>Caution</h3>
<p>The TRACE method can not be denied by this module,
use <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/core.html#traceenable">TraceEnable</a></code> instead.</p>
</div>
<p><code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_allowmethods.html">mod_allowmethods</a></code> was written to replace the rather
kludgy implementation of <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/core.html#limit">Limit</a></code> and
