No idea.

We are anyway :)

Well, that would be against the current interpretation of the Http-bis
expert group at IETF.
The main point of 100-Continue is for the application to decide
whether it can accept the request or not, so it would not make much
sense to send it without asking the application :)
Because of the lack of API, Jetty uses getInputStream() as a trigger
for the 100-Continue response, so the application has some degree of
control over _when_ to send the 100-Continue response.
