Okay, sounds good. I was not aware of that possibility. I removed TRACE
from the uninteresting set.

I agree that TRACE can be interesting, and probably is worth noting.
But we need to take extra care in the output of this script, as (per
Bernd's research) it will now output on more than half of all web
servers encountered. [...]

I made changes and this is how it works now:

$ nmap -p 80 -sC www.google.com www.apache.org www.bamsoftware.com
Nmap scan report for www.google.com (74.125.19.99)
PORT   STATE SERVICE
80/tcp open  http
|_http-methods: No Allow or Public header in OPTIONS response (status code 400)

Nmap scan report for www.apache.org (192.87.106.226)
PORT   STATE SERVICE
80/tcp open  http
| http-methods: Potentially risky methods: TRACE
|_See http://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/http-methods.html

Nmap scan report for www.bamsoftware.com (69.164.193.231)

$ nmap -p 80 -sC -v www.google.com www.apache.org www.bamsoftware.com

Does that look good?

To me, it does look good.  Thanks.
