From 490cccba3cfd5ba54ecb64a10fb63c2f0e94a67d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2006 22:54:57 +0000 Subject: Andrew Biggs pointed out a "Expect: 100-continue" flaw where libcurl didn't send the whole request at once, even though the Expect: header was disabled by the application. An effect of this change is also that small (< 1024 bytes) POSTs are now always sent without Expect: header since we deem it more costly to bother about that than the risk that we send the data in vain. --- CHANGES | 10 +++++++++- RELEASE-NOTES | 2 +- lib/http.c | 34 +++++++++++++++++----------------- lib/http.h | 6 +++++- tests/data/test508 | 1 - tests/data/test510 | 1 - tests/data/test513 | 1 - tests/data/test515 | 1 - 8 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGES b/CHANGES index b2c393858..bacba4bd8 100644 --- a/CHANGES +++ b/CHANGES @@ -6,6 +6,14 @@ Changelog +Daniel (19 August 2006) +- Andrew Biggs pointed out a "Expect: 100-continue" flaw where libcurl didn't + send the whole request at once, even though the Expect: header was disabled + by the application.
