* This abstract class serves as a foundation for all HTTP methods
* that support 'Expect: 100-continue' handshake.
*
*
*
* The purpose of the 100 (Continue) status (refer to section 10.1.1
* of the RFC 2616 for more details) is to allow a client that is
* sending a request message with a request body to determine if the
* origin server is willing to accept the request (based on the request
* headers) before the client sends the request body. In some cases,
* it might either be inappropriate or highly inefficient for the
* client to send the body if the server will reject the message
* without looking at the body.
*
*
*
* 'Expect: 100-continue' handshake should be used with caution,
* as it may cause problems with HTTP servers and proxies that
* do not support HTTP/1.1 protocol.
