I thought the reason sending the 100-continue is later was to make sure
there was communication with the origin server (or access from the cache)
before telling the client to go ahead and send the post data. So the client
doesn't waste it's time and network bandwidth sending large post bodies.
If you move the send 100 earlier, in to the read request header, all you
have guaranteed is that the client successfully communicated with ATS.
Perhaps a better option is to provide a call to the intercept plugin to
send off the 100-continue later?
> POST's with Expect: 100-continue are slowed by delayed 100 response.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HTTP
> Affects Versions: 3.0.2
> Environment: TS 3.0.2 going to Apache 2.2 web server
> Reporter: William Bardwell

> Sending a post like:
> POST / HTTP/1.1
> Host: www.example.com
> Content-Length: 10
> Expect: 100-continue
> directly to the web server immediately sends back:
> HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
> And then when the post data is sent, a status 200 response comes back.
> But when going through ATS the "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue" is not sent
> immediately, and instead is sent after the POST data has been received. This
> is legal, but it makes clients that are hoping for a 100 continue to wait a
> little while hoping to get that, ATS should forward that response through
> immediately.
> Note: I see curl using "Expect: 100-continue" with > 1024 bytes of post data,
> but web searching indicates that some Microsoft products also use it.
