[dancer-users] OPTIONS route "Your browser sent a request which this web server could not grok."

28 Dec 2012

      Hi all, 

I'm playing with implementing an OPTIONS route.  

The following code:

options '/' => sub {
  return { something => 1 }
}

returns this:
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Bad Request</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Bad Request</h1>
        <p>Your browser sent a request which this web server could not
      grok.</p>
    </body>
</html>

- whereas if the Dancer code is switched to 'get' and a GET is used, it works fine.  

This request doesn't even seem to be hitting my Dancer app (just running through myapp.pl right now) - no entries in the log, even on 'core' level.

Does anyone have any thoughts before I dig further?

Cheers,
Rik
