Expect header value sent as "100-Continue" and not "100-continue"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCORE-202
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-202
Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Robert Newson
According to http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html, the Expect
header should use "100-continue". HttpClient sends "100-Continue" instead which
is not recognized by some clients (mochiweb, for example) which is expecting
the canonical form. While clients should be tolerant, HttpClient should be
strict in what it sends.
This causes HttpClient to block for two seconds waiting for the "HTTP 1.1 100
continue" response before it times out and posts the request body, a
significant penalty.
The code in question is here;
./httpcore/src/main/java/org/apache/http/protocol/HTTP.java: public static
final String EXPECT_CONTINUE = "100-Continue";
A reciprocal bug is reported against mochiweb to be more tolerant at
http://code.google.com/p/mochiweb/issues/detail?id=42
