To disable certain HTTP request methods:

  1. Look for the web.xml file located under [DSM installation folder]\webclient\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\web.xml
  2. Edit the web.xml file. For example, if you want to disable the method HEAD and OPTIONS, add the following code:
    <security-constraint> 
        <web-resource-collection> 
            <web-resource-name><strong>restricted methods</strong></web-resource-name> 
            <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> 
            <http-method>HEAD</http-method>
            <http-method>OPTIONS</http-method> 
        </web-resource-collection> 
        <auth-constraint /> 
    </security-constraint>
    
  3. Restart the web service.

After adding the configuration, the result by HEAD request should now be forbidden.
