1882	Nginx does not handle asterisk in OPTIONS request	wes.wesk.tech@…		"According to RFC 2616, this should be a valid request

OPTIONS * HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: blah\r\n


Yet, if you try this, Nginx returns 400 Bad Request.

E.g. curl -X OPTIONS --request-target ""*"" https://nginx.org

Nginx should support the RFC and allow this type of request (even if it does absolutely nothing and returns an empty response).
