 * Implements the HTTP TRACE method.

* The HTTP TRACE method is defined in section 9.6 of * RFC2616: *

* The TRACE method is used to invoke a remote, application-layer loop- * back of the request message. The final recipient of the request * SHOULD reflect the message received back to the client as the * entity-body of a 200 (OK) response. The final recipient is either the * origin server or the first proxy or gateway to receive a Max-Forwards * value of zero (0) in the request (see section 14.31). A TRACE request * MUST NOT include an entity. *
