See: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9.2

 The OPTIONS method represents a request for information about the
communication options available on the request/response chain identified
by the Request-URI. This method allows the client to determine the
options and/or requirements associated with a resource, or the
capabilities of a server, without implying a resource action or
initiating a resource retrieval.
