     37  * HTTP TRACE method.
     38  * <p>
     39  * The HTTP TRACE method is defined in section 9.6 of
     40  * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">RFC2616</a>:
     41  * <blockquote>
     42  *  The TRACE method is used to invoke a remote, application-layer loop-
     43  *  back of the request message. The final recipient of the request
     44  *  SHOULD reflect the message received back to the client as the
     45  *  entity-body of a 200 (OK) response. The final recipient is either the
     46  *  origin server or the first proxy or gateway to receive a Max-Forwards
     47  *  value of zero (0) in the request (see section 14.31). A TRACE request
     48  *  MUST NOT include an entity.
     49  * </blockquote>
