 * The Expect request-header field is used to indicate that particular
 * server behaviors are required by the client.

 *  *    Expect       =  "Expect" ":" 1#expectation
 *

 *    expect-params =  ";" token [ "=" ( token | quoted-string ) ]
 * 
 * 
 * A server that does not understand or is unable to comply with any of
 * the expectation values in the Expect field of a request MUST respond
 * with appropriate error status. The server MUST respond with a 417
 * (Expectation Failed) status if any of the expectations cannot be met
 * or, if there are other problems with the request, some other 4xx
 * status.
