Sorry, but how can a server send only a "100 continue" and still work fine? A
100 continue header _implies_ that there is another status code coming up so
if there's nothing more coming after the 100 continue is sounds like the
server is messed up.

A HTTP/1.1 client is supposed to deal with the 100 code that way, and
(lib)curl does!
