I do return 404 on GET. I haven't implemented POST so i need to put some stub for POST, or maybe even a 501 (Method not implemented). I guess you are right if I do normal processing it should be ok. I was just debugging on the server side and expected PROPFIND after OPTIONS and since I saw GET/POST, I thought maybe I am doing something wrong. I think once I handle POST it should be ok.
