How to send a HTTP OPTIONS request from the command line?
The curl installed by default in Debian supports HTTPS since a great while back. (a long time ago there were two separate packages, one with and one without SSL but that's not the case anymore)
OPTIONS /path
You can send an OPTIONS request with curl like this:
curl -i -X OPTIONS http://example.org/pathYou may also use -v instead of -i to see more output.
OPTIONS *
To send a plain * (instead of the path, see RFC 7231) with the OPTIONS method, you need curl 7.55.0 or later as then you can run a command line like:
curl -i --request-target "*" -X OPTIONS http://example.org
