From what I can tell and know, curl is following the suggested approach on how
to do 100-continue. I can't even think of another way to handle it. No matter
which timeout you use, there's always a risk for a race condition unless you
know exactly how the other end will act and can depend on it. This makes me
think that this sounds like a server-side bug.
Maybe for this case you could consider dropping the header completely?
