Returning HTTP 204 for OPTIONS requests

[Andrew Langhorn]

Hello,

I run Varnish in front of a stack that doesn't respond to OPTIONS requests.
I'd like to filter out these requests from our error logs, because
currently they respond with a 404, which means there's quite a lot of noise.

I've been using this snippet at the top of vcl_recv:

if (req.request == "OPTIONS") {

error 204 "No Content";

}


Is that the best place for it, or are there better places instead?
Similarly, is that the best way of doing this?

Thanks,
