Thanks to all who reply.
Yes, I am developing a REST interface for a large file storage system by
Servlet & Tomcat.
The Expect 100-continue is highly inefficient for LARGE file transfer, I
need to validate HTTP header by our access control logic when PUT a file, if
the headers is invalid, the transfer request will be refused before the
client to send the body.
But I cannot implement this scenario by Servlet, Tomcat will always pass the
request header & body to my Servlet at once.
I will investigate the Tomcat Valve mechanism, but one thing is for sure,
the Valve based implementation depend on the Tomcat private implementation,
that means I cannot use Jetty to do unit test.
Can Servlet 3.0 Comet implement this?
Thanks.
Zijian.
