    Issue:


    We're running a Web Agent, and when user tries to reach the page :

    https://test.test.com/siteminderagent/forms/login.fcc/test

    with OPTIONS as browser action, then the browser recieves return
    code 500.

     

    How can we fix this ?

     

    Cause:

     

    We see in the Web Agent traces that the method isn't supported yet.

    WebAgent.log
