By responding with a "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue" response to
encourage a client to send the rest of the body.

This is part of the HTTP/1.1 standard but not often implemented
by servers:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html#sec8.2.3

This will speed up curl uploads since curl sleeps up to 1 second if
no response is received:

 * "Trailers:" support with TE:chunked requests
 
-* Handling of "Expect: 100-continue" header to speed up "curl -T"
-
 * Support HTTP/1.1 keepalive if (and probably only if) pipelining.
   We can do this by testing readability of socket immediately after
   the response is written.
