What is the HTTP OPTIONS method used for?

This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
The HTTP method OPTIONS is used to obtain information about the capabilities of the server or the parameters supported for a specific resource. This method allows the client to inquire about the available methods, allowed headers, and other parameters.
For example, if you are developing a web application that uses AJAX requests to the server, you can use the OPTIONS method to get information about which methods such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE are supported by the server for a specific resource. After obtaining this information, it will be easier to properly configure requests to the server using the available methods and headers.
