See, what we really want is exactly "Expect: HTTP/1.1" so that we can
be certain that we can spend a 1xx class response, but as far as I can
tell there is no way to actually accomplish this, other than just
spewing out our 1xx response, with utter disregard for any
non-compliant proxies in the downstream path. But at this point I
don't see any other viable option.
