   In method #1, the rewrite rules will not work if they are put into the .htaccess file. They must go into httpd.conf.

     Thanks for the note Chad!
     Still, are you sure that the rewrite engine is enabled for the directory where you try to put the rewrite rules?
     It could be also due to difference in Apache version or Linux distrubution. Which versions are you using?

       I definitely have the rewrite engine enabled, because the same rule works for the TRACK request method. I admit that it could be the version of Apache or the OS, but it’s from my hosting company, and I don’t have access to that information.

       While researching this, I’ve found many accounts of people who implemented the .htaccess rules and found that they didn’t work. I also found several instances where people “in the know” said that the rewrite directives had to go into httpd.conf and that it wouldn’t work in .htaccess.

   By the way I just checked your website. There is pretty cool stuff on it. That Christian Band Servant is quite interesting. I’m glad you’re a Christian too 🙂 You can check my blog christian section if you haven’t checked it yet.

   IceWeasel 3.5.8 GNU/Linux
   Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20100203 Iceweasel/3.5.8 (like Firefox/3.5.8)

   On Debian/Lenny there is a file /etc/apache2/conf.d/security that has:

   # Allow TRACE method
   #
   # Set to “extended” to also reflect the request body (only for testing and
   # diagnostic purposes).
   #
   # Set to one of: On | Off | extended
   #
   #TraceEnable Off
   TraceEnable On

   You can simple uncomment the option you want.

   Insertion of the rewrite rule in the .htaccess file worked for me. However, it only seemed to work for the http connection. The trace is still working on the https connection.

   How to disable it for both?

   I am using this site to test: http://web-sniffer.net/

     Check if the mod_rewrite is enabled for https? Also does the https access recognize mod rewrite rules you place in .htaccess?

       I don’t have access to the httpd.conf file. It’s a shared hosting setup so I can only modify .htaccess

       I inserted this code into .htaccess:

       RewriteEngine on
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK)
       RewriteRule .* – [F]

       I then went to this site to test:

       http://web-sniffer.net/

       An http request gave the desired “405 Method Not Allowed” response. An https request did not.

       So, I’m stumped. Is there some way in the .htaccess to explicitly spell out rewrite conditions for https requests? Is that what is needed?

         Maybe your shared hosting provider has somehow disabled the use of .htaccess rules for the https?
         Can you contact them and ask them if there are some restrictions, this might be a possible cause?
