Filter OPTIONS Method

A Burp extension that filters out OPTIONS requests from populating Burp's Proxy history. This extension works by doing the following:

1. Force the Content-Type header value to text/css; charset=UTF-8.
2. Comment out the entire response body so Burp will not recognize the MIME type incorrectly.
