+
+Traffic Server currently does not handle request Expect: headers according to the HTTP/1.1 spec.  
+<p />
+Note that clients such as cURL automatically send Expect: for POST requests with large POST bodies, with a 1 second timeout if a 100 Continue response is not received.  To avoid the timeout when using cURL as a client to Traffic Server, you can turn off the Expect: header as follows:
+
+<p />
+command line:
+<pre class="example">
+curl -H"Expect:" http://www.example.com/
+</pre>
+<p />
+C (libcurl):
+<pre class="example">
+struct curl_slist *header_list=NULL;
+header_list = curl_slist_append(header_list, "Expect:"); 
+curl_easy_setopt(my_curlp, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, header_list); 
+</pre>
+<p />
+php:
+<pre class="example">
+curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:')); 
+</pre>
+
