The "Expect: 100-continue" is meant to speedup detection of unwilling
receivers. It hardly speedups normal (accepted) posts.

Your dealing with this is perfect, as it prevents curl from sending that
header and then it won't wait for any Expect reply and thus perform faster.
As long as the POST is accepted.

If the POST isn't accepted, it'll take much longer and you'll have the whole
POST contents transfered before you can get the error code from the server.
