<p>Normally, if multiple <directive>AllowMethods</directive> could
84
apply to a directory, then the most specific one is used and
85
others are ignored; the methods are not merged. (See <a

87
However if <em>all</em> the methods on the
88
<directive>AllowMethods</directive> directive are preceded by a
89
<code>+</code> or <code>-</code> symbol, the options are
90
merged. Any method preceded by a <code>+</code> are added to the
91
methods currently in force, and any method preceded by a
92
<code>-</code> are removed from the methods currently in
93
force. </p>
