## org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods
Class TraceMethod

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase
          org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.TraceMethod

All Implemented Interfaces:
  HttpMethod

    public class TraceMethod

extends HttpMethodBase

Implements the HTTP TRACE method.

The HTTP TRACE method is defined in section 9.6 of RFC2616:

> The TRACE method is used to invoke a remote, application-layer loop- back of the request message. The final recipient of the request SHOULD reflect the message received back to the client as the entity-body of a 200 (OK) response. The final recipient is either the origin server or the first proxy or gateway to receive a Max-Forwards value of zero (0) in the request (see section 14.31). A TRACE request MUST NOT include an entity.

  2.0
