> An HTTP client may elect to send an "Expect: 100-Continue" header. All compliant HTTP servers are required to;
> "A server that does not understand or is unable to comply with any of the expectation values in the Expect field of a request MUST respond with appropriate error status. The server MUST respond with a 417 (Expectation Failed) status if any of the expectations cannot be met or, if there are other problems with the request, some other 4xx status."
> from http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html
> CouchDB sends neither the Continue response (if it supports expect-continue) or 417 (if it doesn't).
> This leads clients that include the header to hang while they timeout expecting either response.
> Suggest returning a 417 response so that compliant clients will retry immediately without the Expect header.
