[issue1346874] httplib simply ignores CONTINUE

[Rick Harris]

Rick Harris <rconradharris at gmail.com> added the comment:

I'm implemented the behavior described by Mike above with a patch to
2.6. The patch will raise an ExpectationFailed before sending the body
if the server responds with a 417 (Expectation Failed).

This patch should only modify behavior for requests that specify
"Expect: 100-continue" in the request's headers.

Note: The spec says that the client should send the body if the server
does not respond within some reasonable period of time. This is not
currently supported. Anyone have any thoughts on how that could be done?
