HTTP Methods that are not conforming to the relevant RFCs are normally -rejected by request processing in Apache HTTPD. To avoid this, modules -can register non-standard HTTP methods they support. -The RegisterHttpMethod allows to register such -methods manually. This can be useful if such methods are forwarded -for external processing, e.g. to a CGI script.

This directive may be used to register additional HTTP methods. This is +necessary if non-standard methods need to be used with directives that accept +method names as parameters, or to allow particular non-standard methods to be +used via proxy or CGI script when the server has been configured to only pass +recognized methods to modules.
