curl treats the specific methods differently, so depending on what you start
out the request with you'll get slightly different behaviors.

Sending a GET with a body is unusual. A default GET request with curl doesn't
send any body. To change this, the easy way is to do a POST (with POSTFIELDS
or a callback) and change the method to "GET" with CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST.
You'd do exactly the same thing to send a "DELETE" or "PATCH" with a body as
well.

curl sends Expect: according to some simple hueristics, and I'm pretty sure
that logic is unchanged since way before 7.59.0.
