> Key: QPID-6217
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-6217
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Java Broker
> Affects Versions: 0.30
> Reporter: David Lovely

> The QPID Java broker responds to HTTP TRACE requests with a response code of 200. A common practice for better security is to return a 403 or 405 code for TRACE requests. By default Jetty version 6.1 and greater disable this but the embedded Jetty server in the QPID broker is allowing TRACE requests to be processed. Attached is a patch that returns 403 when TRACE is used. For example,
> Current reponse from a TRACE command:
> curl -v -X TRACE localhost:8080
> > TRACE / HTTP/1.1
> > User-Agent: curl/7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.13.6.0 zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.4.2
