Feature #377
closedIncorrect handling of the 100 (Continue) Status
Description
Lighttpd currently does not handle section 8.2.3 of the HTTP/1.1 spec correctly (it always responds with HTTP/1.1 417 Expectation Failed). As a result many common HTTP/1.1 clients cannot POST data to lighttpd based web servers. (mshtml, Visual Studio, libcurl, HttpClient, HttpWebRequest)
Please see section 8.2.3 of
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html

I also see this when Flash 9 tries to upload files in Linux. Oddly, the Windows version of Flash doesn't send this header.

Why?
Updated by hoffie over 16 years ago
Because developers usually know their stuff better than users and probably have good reasons for their statements.
See #1017 in this case.

- Description updated (diff)
- Status changed from Wontfix to Patch Pending
- Target version set to 1.4.45
related: https://redmine.lighttpd.net/boards/3/topics/81
Transfer-Encoding: chunked is supported in lighttpd 1.4.44
Expect: 100-continue will be supported in lighttpd 1.4.46
This will replace the current behavior of sending 417 Expectation Failed, which is RFC compliant, but not very friendly, if server.reject-expect-100-with-417 = "enable", which is the default for some historical reason. (See #1017)
