[QGIS-Developer] QGIS Server `allowMethod` in Python server plugin not executed

[Dražen Odobašić]

Hi Alessandro,

if `allowMethod` is simply going to be removed, QGIS-documentation has to be updated. I've created the issue https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/36163

If it's going to be removed I could probably create an PR for QGIS and QGIS-documetation :)

A simple `git grep allowMethod` on the master branch shows few definitions but not sure if it's actually called from anywhere (maybe some external lib does actually invoke it, don't know)
