httpie
Support 100 Continue
Hey there,
Really great work on HTTPie. I've come to love it a lot -- so much nicer than cURL. =)
Just chiming in w/ a feature request: it'd be great if HTTPie supported 100 Continue:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html
You probably already know what this is, but if not, a client can send an Expect: 100-continue request header, giving the server a chance to respond either with 100 Continue or a different, final status code -- before the client sends along the request body.
E.g. Amazon S3 recommends using this:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RESTRedirect.html
I've tried passing along this header myself, which "works" -- but HTTPie doesn't actually take that into account at all; it still sends the request body.

Thanks much for the consideration!
@aseemk that's a limitation of requests which httpie uses and can't be fixed here until it is fixed there. Here's the corresponding issue. If you have insight into how that can be done, let us know!
Ah, got it. Thanks for the link! I'll chime in over there. =)
If you'd like to close this issue until that one is resolved, btw, please feel free.
@spencergibb correct. There's nothing that library or urllib3 can do to support this until Python's standard library stops ignoring/swallowing it whole and hiding it from them
