200 response should be defined for TRACE operations

Possible exploit scenario

Attackers strive to make your APIs behave in an unexpected way to learn more about your system or to cause a data breach. We highly recommend that you minimize any risks and clearly specify the data that your API operations can return for each possible response code.

In TRACE operations, the messages are reflected back to the client. If you do not carefully define the response for TRACE operations, the output might accidentally contain sensitive data that should have been excluded.
