NAME
     nesetrequestexpect100 - function to enable  Expect:  100-
     continue support

SYNOPSIS
     #include 


     void nesetrequestexpect100 (nerequest *request,
                                    int flag);


DESCRIPTION
     An extension introduced in the  HTP/1.1  specification  was
     the  use of the Expect: 100-continue header. This header al-
     lows an HTP client to be informed of the expected  response
     status before the request message body is sent: a useful op-
     timisation for situations where a large message body  is  to
     be  sent.  The nesetrequestexpect100 function can be used
     to enable this feature by passing the flag parameter as  any
     non-zero integer.


          Warning

          Unfortunately, if this header is sent to a server which
          is not fully compliant with the HTP/1.1 specification,
          a deadlock occurs resulting  in  a  temporarily  "hung"
          connection.  neon will recover gracefully from this si-
          tuation, but only after a  15  second  timeout.  It  is
          highly  recommended that this option is not enabled un-
          less it is known that the server in use  correctly  im-
          plements Expect: 100-continue support.
