OPTIONS is a diagnostic method which is mainly used for debugging purpose. This HTTP method basically reports which HTTP Methods that are allowed on the web server. In reality, this is rarely used for legitimate purposes, but it does grant a potential attacker a little bit of help and it can be considered a shortcut to find another hole.
