id = "HTTP allowed methods" description = [[ Connects to an HTTP server and sends an OPTIONS request to see which HTTP methods are allowed on this server. Optionally tests each method individually to see if they are subject to e.g. IP address restrictions. By default, the script will not report anything if the only methods found are GET, HEAD, POST, or OPTIONS. If any other methods are found, or if Nmap is run in verbose mode, then all of them are reported. ]] --- -- @args http-methods.url-path The path to request. Defaults to -- /. -- @args http-methods.retest If defined, do a request using each method -- individually and show the response code.
