How to add a route to the method 'options' for each controller?

Currently I’m mapping all of my controllers to use the same set of http options in a controller called option

map.connect ‘*path’,

        :controller => 'option',

        :action => 'options',

        :conditions => {:method => :options}

But I would like to know how to do something along these lines

map.connect ‘:controller*’,

        :action => 'options',

        :conditions => {:method => :options}

Which currently yields

Allow: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE

Status: 501 Not Implemented

The goal is that whenever a client application pre-flights a cross-origin request (CORS) the controller will issue the same options regardless of the action, but contingent upon the controller.

This is the options method which I would like to be able to control on a per-controller basis:

def options

  render :nothing => true, :status => 204

  response.headers['Access-Control-Allow-Origin'] = '*'

  response.headers['Access-Control-Allow-Methods'] = 'POST, GET, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS'

  response.headers['Access-Control-Allow-Credentials'] = 'true'

  response.headers['Access-Control-Max-Age'] = '86400'

  response.headers['Access-Control-Allow-Headers'] = 'X-Requested-With, X-HTTP-Method-Override, Content-Type, Accept'

end
