Hi,
Looking at <http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4812000>:

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The servlet API provides no means of controlling the 100- continue response when the user agent expects it, and doesn't specify when it is or is not sent by the servlet container. It should do so. One suggestion to handle this would be:
1. Add a method to HttpServletRequest called acceptRequest or some such, which causes a 100-continue to be sent. acceptRequest would have no effect if the user agent doesn't expect a 100-continue.
2. Specify that 100-continue will not be sent until one of the following happens to the request object:
a. acceptRequest() is called b. getInputStream() or getReader() is called c. For the POST method, getParameter() or similar is called.
This would be compatible with the current specification (though not with current tomcat, which always sends 100- continue immediately), but provide the ability for better control.

Does Tomcat5 (or 4, for that matter) actually implement one of these options (2b&c, for instance)?
