NAME

Leyland::Manual::FAQ - Frequently asked questions about Leyland

HOW CAN I MAKE MY APP ANSWER "OPTIONS" REQUESTS?

The HTTP OPTIONS request method is used by clients to ask a server what are the HTTP methods they can perform on a certain resource (or URI path if you will). The server is supposed to answer with the response header "Allow", containing a list of valid methods, like "GET, POST, PUT".

The good news for you is that Leyland already does this automatically for you. When it receives an OPTIONS request to a certain resource, it finds out all methods supported by it, and returns a proper answer to the client.

HOW CAN I MAKE MY APP ANSWER "HEAD" REQUESTS?

The HTTP HEAD request method is exactly similar to GET, except only the response headers are returned, without the response body. If you want to add support for HEAD requests in your Leyland applications, add the Head Plack middleware to app.psgi.

WHY ARE YOU NOT USING PLACK'S LOGGING MIDDLEWARES?

Since v1.0.0, Leyland does! Look at Leyland::Manual::Logging for more info.
