See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The application allows methods like HEAD, OPTIONS.
HTTP offers a number of methods that can be used to perform actions on the web server. Many of these methods are designed to aid developers in deploying and testing HTTP applications. These HTTP methods can be used for nefarious purpose if the web server is misconfigured.

    The following section of the Servlet specification describes how to cover and uncover HTTP methods: 13.8 Specifying Security Constraints.
    You could also perform the samething using Annotations, for example see the following section of the Servlet specification: 13.4 Programmatic Security Policy Configuration.
    Are you requesting some sort of functionality outside of the already existing spec defined functionality?
