Does nginx support OPTIONS request method ?

[joro]

Hi guys,
I am trying to make a cross-domain ajax request. The problem comes when
i try to POST .
Then Firefox makes "preflighted" request to see if it is OK to go
ahead.
Here is the request :

OPTIONS /publish/?id=123 HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.1.2.50:8002
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8)

Connection: keep-alive

and response :
