Technical details and impact analysis
Hello,
HTTP TRACE method is enabled on your server which should not be enabled. It can lead to cross site tracing ! I think this is not a critical issue but I thought I will still report because it is always better to fix it :)
Cross site tracing: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cross_Site_Tracing
```
$ curl -X TRACE http://aspen.io -vv [19:57:58]
* Rebuilt URL to: http://aspen.io/
* Trying 23.21.203.159...
* Connected to aspen.io (23.21.203.159) port 80 (#0)
> TRACE / HTTP/1.1
> Host: aspen.io
> User-Agent: curl/7.50.1
> Accept: */*

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK

```
## Mitigation:
Disable TRACE method support on your server.
