Mark, at the point in the request-processing when the 100 Continue is sent, has the context already been chosen? If so, could we add a configuration parameter on the context to disable auto-handling of Expect:Continue/100-Continue, or is it not as simple as I make it out to be? Is it even possible for a servlet to handle a 100-Continue response entirely on its own without collusion with the container? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEAREIAAYFAlEaUG0ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBujwCgrz3fI1jZHamTCa13c8QxKOAX YNMAoJ1yqPLTBqQ0wG/qrB079dVlUF7I =tfk4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
