/**
* 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.
*

* @since 4.0
