I have a C# based webAPI hosted on Azure WebApp. Sporadically, the HTTP OPTIONS call fails with a 500 error.
The OPTIONS call is not handled by our code. So I assume the server handles it by itself.
I tried enabling logs but both event log and web server logs does not print anything other than that it failed with a 500 error.
Any ideas why this would happen?.
Update: I see only the below error messages in the web server logs. No details Additionally I added code in my webAPI to handle options call, but the code does not go there. Not sure if I need to enable/disable something in web.confi.
