How to force the Expect 100-continue ?

Hi vbrabant,


Currently, it is not possible to control expect-continue handshake mechanism from soapUI (initiated by "Expect: 100-continue" header sent by client).

By default, this handshake mechanism is not enabled because of potential issues with HTTP 1.0 servers and proxies. Here's a quote from HttpClient's HTTP preferences:

'Expect: 100-continue' handshake should be used with caution, as it may cause problems with HTTP servers and proxies that do not support HTTP/1.1 protocol.

This will be supported in foreseeable future and it's good that you already added a feature request.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I know that such info is only supported by http 1.1 protocol, but it should be possible, without a lot of work and complexity I hope, to permits to enable/disable such feature in the preference panel when the Http version is 1.1. And to gray such option when Http version is not 1.1.

No ?

Hi vbrabant,


Yes, that would be a way to add a preference setting that controls soapUI's behavior for "Expect: 100-continue" headers.

Hi,

The Expect: 100-continue function has now been enabled and will be in the upcoming nightly build of the soapUI 3.0 beta.
