Tests an http server for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), a way
for domains to explicitly opt in to having certain methods invoked by
another domain.
The script works by setting the Access-Control-Request-Method header
field for certain enumerated methods in OPTIONS requests, and checking
the responses.
