Implements the HTTP TRACE command verb for diagnostics.

procedure Trace(
    AURL: string;

); overload;
Parameters 
Description 
AURL

AResponseContent

Trace is an overloaded method in TIdHTTP that implements the HTTP TRACE command verb. Trace is used to a remote application-layer loop- back for the Request message, and allows the HTTP client to see the data received at the host or proxy server that is the target for the Request. Trace information is normally used for testing and diagnostic purposes. 

If the Request is valid, the Response to a Trace Request will contain the entire Request message with a Content-Type of "message/http". 

Trace is overloaded to allow the response content to be returned a String, using the function-based variant of the method, or in the stream specified in AResponseContent.

Exceptions 
Description 
EAssertionFailed 
Raised when the stream for the response content is unassigned.
