@CamJN @FooBarWidget I can't get Phusion Passenger to accept OPTIONS * but OPTIONS / does work:

OPTIONS /

Is this a bug with Passenger? Why isn't it forwarding the request?

I merged #29 as it felt like a useful test and was working correctly across all servers.

I've decided to support explicit broken-ness and listed Passenger as having broken support for OPTIONS *. If it gets fixed, please let me know.

@samuel-williams-shopify this turns out to be an nginx issue, if you use --engine builtin with passenger you get a valid response.

passenger start --envvar BUNDLE_GEMFILE="gems/passenger-v6-rack-v2.rb" --engine builtin
