Yes, for three reasons : - it's the only way for a content analyser (think anti-virus) to get the payload ; - clients already expect to receive multiple non-final 100 responses - we never know for sure the version of the next hop, and deciding a behaviour rule this way could probably introduce more confusion than having a general one > I think that's sensible, but it's a bigger change; what do others think?

I think that's OK, > just wanted to point it out. Anyway, this is already allowed in some form since we ask the clients to forward the body is they get no response for a certain amount of time. So that means that over the wire we can see a final response without a 100/417. And the most common examples of such final responses I can have that will not even wait for the body are 401 and 302. The purpose of Expect precisely is to let the server decide without passing it the payload. If we prevent the server from asking for authentication without getting the payload, I think that the usefulness of Expect becomes quite limited. Best regards, Willy
