Have you seen exceptions like this before?

"ActionController::NotImplemented: Only requests are allowed."

This is usually the result of a Microsoft product sending an OPTIONS request to your app with a user_agent of "Microsoft Office Protocol Discovery". This middleware will stop those requests in their tracks, and keep them from hitting your rails stack.

TO USE with Rails 2.3:

	gem install CodeOfficer-rack-options-request

in your environment.rb

	require 'rack/options/request'
	
then do a
	
  config.gem "CodeOfficer-rack-options-request" # (optional)

	config.middleware.use Rack::Options::Request

Until I learn TDD, you can test your local app with ...

	curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/

	Should return your normal content.

While ...

	curl -X OPTIONS http://localhost:3000/

	Should return a 200 status and "Microsoft Office Protocol Discovery".
