HTTP method OPTIONS used to obtain information about server capabilities or parameters supported for a specific resource. This method allows the client to ask the server about available methods, allowed headers, as well as 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 from GET, POST, PUT, DELETE are supported by the server for a specific resource. After receiving this information, it will be easier to properly configure requests to the server using available methods and headers.
