what is OPTIONS type in request type?

Question

I have used GET & POST ,DELETE etc. but what is this OPTIONS for? What different does it do in the controller side?

It does nothing with Rails itself, it's all about HTTP verbs. — Roman Kiselenko, May 19 '17 at 05:41

Those request methods are request-response between a client and server,

OPTIONS Returns the HTTP methods that the server supports
