Allow mounting of rack apps that deal with HTTP extensions

#5895

I have a rack app that handles webdav request. I cannot mount it from inside rails like this;

HelloWebdavApp::Application.routes.draw do |map|
  match '/webdav', :to => WebdavApp
end

because rails validates HTTP verbs (GET POST PUT ..), and webdav uses HTTP extensions like PROPFIND that do not validate, throwing the following exception:

ActionController::UnknownHttpMethod (PROPFIND, accepted HTTP methods are get, head, put, post, delete, and options)

I see 2 possible fixes:

Either allow rack mounting semantics to say "mount this but above HelloWebdavApp.routes" either change the validation code to allow http extensions verbs.

    I'm working on fixing this, however in the meantime putting the following in an initializer should work:

    %w(propfind proppatch mkcol copy move lock unlock).each do |method|
  ActionDispatch::Request::HTTP_METHODS << method.upcase
  ActionDispatch::Request::HTTP_METHOD_LOOKUP[method.upcase] = method.to_sym
end
