probing-dangerous-http-methods
Discover advertised HTTP methods with bounded OPTIONS requests, then verify separately selected methods only under explicit scoped ROE permission. Use when auditing post-deploy method policy or approved WebDAV/proxy experiments. Requires disposable fixtures, conditional cleanup and private evidence for writes; reports missing or ambiguous evidence as inconclusive. Trigger with "audit http methods", "trace check", or "webdav probe".

# Probing Dangerous HTTP Methods
## Overview
Compare anonymous HTTP method capabilities with the owner's explicit policy.
The default sends only OPTIONS to the exact supplied URL, follows no redirect,
and does not read its response body. Allow is advertisement, not proof of a
write, an open proxy or exploitation. An API path name does not establish policy.
Active experiments require separate method selection, a structurally valid ROE,
an exclusive private ledger and bounded postcondition evidence. The checker does
not verify signing identity or establish legal authorization. Obtain the owner's
approval independently before executing an experiment.
