2. For Apache, use mod_rewrite to prevent support for TRACE (see
   [1]). Make sure to place the directive in the <proxy> section of
   the httpd.conf file. Also, It would be a good idea to append the
   "[nocase]" flag to the RewriteCond directive, to ensure case
   insensitive comparison (though it seems that Apache will only
   serve fully uppercase HTTP methods).


One minor point: as of 1.3.34, 2.0.55, and 2.2.0 Apache is capable of
disabling TRACE natively via the TraceEnable directive:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#traceenable
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#traceenable
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#traceenable
