How can I route unmatched OPTION requests in Rails 5

Question

My servers are being hit by sporadic OPTIONS requests to my root path. These are all bots trying to find vulnerabilities. I want to return a 404 not found instead of raising an error, since my error tracking service is being hit all the time.

I have tried using:

options '/', to: 'application#return_not_found'

to route these requests properly, but Rails 5 gives me an error.

The error is: `undefined method 'options' for # (NoMethodError)` — Augusto Samamé Barrientos, Nov 21 '17 at 16:55
