+ <simpara>enable this flag to use the "Expect:
+ 100-continue" feature of HTTP/1.1, which allows the
+ server to process request headers without reading the
+ entire request body. This saves time and bandwidth if
+ the server gives an authentication challenge (requiring
+ the request to be resent), but has interoperability
+ problems with some older servers.</simpara>
