I didn't necessarily mean that the 100-Continue workflow should be fully supported. I think Ignoring the header would be much better than completely refusing to work with it (and replying with error 417) and my guess is that doing that should be possible.
Looking at the HTTP specification [1], it says that a proxy *has to* return 417 if the target server doesn't support HTTP/1.1. Though I have no idea why would the specification require this.
