<div dir="ltr">Thanks! One last thing I will point out, is that in our case, 100-continue doesn't help since we're responding due to a problem with the body itself. My understanding of 100-continue is that it essentially okays the sender to transmit the body.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Sep 28, 2018 at 6:13 AM Dridi Boukelmoune <dridi@varni.sh> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On Fri, Sep 28, 2018 at 3:08 AM Tommy Becker <<a href="mailto:twbecker@gmail.com" target="_blank">twbecker@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

That's a SHOULD I didn't remember, that's why ;)<br>

Greg Wilkins of the Jetty team asked me to relay this message in particular: <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jetty-users/msg08611.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jetty-users/msg08611.html</a><br>

Thank you for relaying it. In the github issue you mentioned earlier I<br>
already suggested 100-continue support (mentioned by Greg Wilkins) in<br>
Varnish, but I wasn't aware/didn't remember the section you pasted.<br>
<br>
> As I mentioned in that thread, I have no horse in this race and just want to solve my problem and perhaps spare others from this same issue, which was rather tough to debug.<br>
<br>
Yes, and thank you for posting to the list. So this is neither a bug<br>
in Varnish or Jetty, and we don't use Github issues for feature<br>
requests. I will try to bring this up on Monday for the bugwash since<br>
this feature would be a latency win.<br>
