*sigh* ... Sorry for that, I'll try reading the description before I open my mouth next time.

Hi all,

I'm having some trouble with the http-trace script missing hosts that
actually have the TRACE method enabled. I've been able to locate the
problem and it occurs if the server does not return anything more
than the TRACE / HTTP/1.0 line.
<snip>
The current logic only returns a success if the HTTP data portion of
the response is different from the original query. An alternative
method of detection would be to stuff a header with random contents
into the request and look for it in the response:
<snip>
Or the script could simply be corrected to handle the first
request.
Any thoughts?

What you're describing isn't failure: the description says it uses
TRACE to see if headers are getting modified, not checking if TRACE is
supported on the target server.

Cheers,
