What's the mistake in this?

Try with curl using -i to show the response headers, and using -L to follow any redirects:
curl -i -L -X OPTIONS http://10.0.0.3/
You’ll see some response headers that include an Allow header; example:
Allow: OPTIONS,GET,HEAD,POST
If you really want to instead use nc, you can do it like this:
$ nc 10.0.0.3 80
OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.0.0.3
What’s different about that from the nc invocation in the question is:
HTTP/1.1 to the OPTIONS line (just as you must with GET, HEAD, etc.)Host: <hostname> line after the OPTIONS line
