Path 'OPTIONS' is forbidden

[Graham]

Hi,
One of our clients sites has a files directory that stores different types
of files: doc, pdf, xls.
Every now and again we get an error email with the following info:

PATH: /files/Timeline_of_Deception.doc

PLATFORM: Unknown

BROWSER: Unknown 0.0

COOKIES: False

EXCEPTIONS:

MESSAGE: Path 'OPTIONS' is forbidden.

Have done some looking and cant find any useful info on the above error
message.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Graham

I would imaging the server is getting some kind of WebDAV OPTIONS
request. Check the web server log.

You don't have date/time or client IP address in your debug message,
so it might be difficult to determine just when the error occured.

You might consider adding this to your debugging message.
