A lot of libraries follow this behaviour. A Twitter app I wrote in PHP
a while back has been logging 417s most of today. I logged in and
added:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'));
Other libcurl-based libraries may be affected. There are plenty of
reports about 417 and Expect on the cURL website - http://curl.haxx.se/
- and on the websites of particular language bindings.
