We may have a requirement to restrict some HTTP methods like GET, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, OPTIONS, etc, for some specific applications that use this HTTP protocol

To achieve this in BW 5.x we can use the property bw.plugin.http.server.restrictHttpMethods

This property specifies the HTTP methods that can be disabled. By default, none of the HTTP methods are restricted by the server. You can specify a comma-separated list of methods that are to be restricted. These restrictions are then applicable to all resources accessed on this server, for all roles. You cannot disable methods selectively for a particular service or for a particular server.
