UKHPI: 500 response to OPTIONS requests

[ijdickinson]

From @bwmcbride:

We are seeing occurrences of 500 errors in the Apache logs on the production servers.

These are in response to an HTTP request "OPTIONS /app/ukhpi/assets/"

Would it be possible to respond with something other an 500 which looks like an internal server error?

Its not a big deal, but batches of "internal server errors" are a cause of concern when they show up in the monitoring. Operator really should go and look at what is causing them.

Thanks, will investigate. Can you provide a curl command that provokes the error?

Are PPD and Standard Reports also affected?

Reply from @bwmcbride:

curl -X OPTIONS http://lr-ppd-dev-pres.epimorphics.net/app/ukhpi/assets/

will reproduce the error

The equivalent requests for ppd and standard reports do not have the same problem - they return 404

curl -X OPTIONS http://lr-ppd-dev-pres.epimorphics.net/app/ppd/assets/
curl -X OPTIONS http://lr-ppd-dev-pres.epimorphics.net/app/standard-reports/assets/
