 ``request_method``
-  This value can be a string (typically ``"GET"``, ``"POST"``, ``"PUT"``,
-  ``"DELETE"``, or ``"HEAD"``) representing an HTTP ``REQUEST_METHOD``.  A view
-  declaration with this argument ensures that the view will only be called
-  when the request's ``method`` attribute (aka the ``REQUEST_METHOD`` of the
-  WSGI environment) string matches the supplied value.
+  This value can be either a string (such as ``"GET"``, ``"POST"``,
+  ``"PUT"``, ``"DELETE"``, ``"HEAD"`` or ``"OPTIONS"``) representing an
+  HTTP ``REQUEST_METHOD``, or a tuple containing one or more of these
+  strings.  A view declaration with this argument ensures that the
+  view will only be called when the ``method`` attribute of the
+  request (aka the ``REQUEST_METHOD`` of the WSGI environment) matches
+  a supplied value.  Note that use of ``"GET"`` also implies that the
+  view will respond to ``"HEAD"`` as of Pyramid 1.4.
 
   If ``request_method`` is not supplied, the view will be invoked regardless
   of the ``REQUEST_METHOD`` of the :term:`WSGI` environment.
