I forget if it is actually supposed to have an effect). Here's a quote from RFC 2616 "A proxy MUST NOT forward a 100 (Continue) response if the request message was received from an HTTP/1.0 (or earlier) client and did not include an Expect request-header field with the "100-continue" expectation." I guess that makes HTTP 1.1 a successful monolithic IETF specification with ad-hoc "versioning" that happens to have a numerical component. I think this discussion is an epic waste of time. - Rob
