[jetty-dev] disable expect continue support

[Brad McEvoy <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm the author of milton.io, a webdav server library for java.

Recently i've been getting increasing number of milton users affected by 
Expect:Continue handling in servlet containers such as jetty

The problem is that any servlet container which implements transparent 
handling of the Expect header (ie sends the 100 response before invoking 
the servlet) causes large performance problems for webdav for many 
important clients including Windows and Cyberduck - for example files 
will often get uploaded twice.

So is there a way to disable the transparent handling through 
configuration?

Here is a discussion of the issue from 2005:

And a more recent one regarding grizzly:

Thanks,
