Handling 100 Continue on https put or post?

[Don Robertson <do...@documentum.com>]

I have a simple PUT (or POST) of a file to Tomcat 4.1. Without SSL I get a
reliable 200 return status. Using https though, Tomcat appears to return a
continue, and this gets passed back to my client program. The whole request
body has been passed successfully to Tomcat (I can verify this), but what am
I supposed to do in the client to wait for a proper completion? I assumed
that if httpclient were automatically handling the continue then it would
return a 200, but maybe I am misunderstanding the HTTP interaction.

I have reduced this to a trivial code fragment...

            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            PutMethod put = new PutMethod( "https://localhost:8443" );
            put.setRequestBody( new FileInputStream( "foo.zip" ) );
            put.setPath( "/myServlet/foo.zip" );
            client.executeMethod( put );
            System.out.println( put.getStatusLine() );

On the client I am using the SunJSSE provider.

Any ideas? 

Thanks
Don

Hi Don,
It sounds like you're using 2.0-alpha 3 which exhibited problems just 
like this.  We've done a lot of work on PUT and POST recently so 
upgrading to the latest nightly build should fix the problem.  We are 
expecting to release 2.0-beta1 very soon.

If that doesn't fix the problem, could you please send through a wire 
trace showing the problem, instructions can be found at 
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/logging.html

Regards,

Adrian Sutton.
