Disable Spring Security for OPTIONS Http Method

Question

Is it possible to disable Spring Security for a type of HTTP Method?

We have a Spring REST application with services that require Authorization token to be attached

Answer 1

Have you tried this

You can use multiple elements to define different access requirements for different sets of URLs, but they will be evaluated in the order listed and the first match will be used. So you must put the most specific matches at the top. You can also add a method attribute to limit the match to a particular HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT etc.).

Above means you need to select the url pattern to intercept and what methods you want
