Qt 4.6.1

[Andreas Kling]

This is due to missing support for the OPTIONS verb in QNetworkAccessManager HTTP. I'm working on a solution.

[Markus Goetz]

Tracked inside Qt at http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-8206
Since it is new API, it will be inside Qt 4.7.
If you need to do a workaround for 4.6.x you have to do it inside QtWebKit/WebKit.

This adds support for the OPTIONS verb. Note that it depends on new QNetworkAccessManager API in Qt 4.7

It would be nice if WebCore::CString had a conversion operator to QByteArray.
