Description:
------------
During the implementation of a remote API, I ran into some problems when uploading files to a lighttpd server. The error returned from the server is '417 - Expectation failed'.

When I upload to an Apache server, this problem doesn't occur, but what I did notice was an unusual header in the request arguments:

Except: 100-continue

Is there a way to disable this particular feature? Maybe by switching back to HTTP/1.0 instead of HTTP/1.1?

I found the problem(s):
1) lighttpd doesn't support HTTP/1.1 Expect
2) Changing the protocol is easier than I though (although it's not particularly well documented)

$req->setOptions(array(
  'protocol' => HTTP_VERSION_1_0,
));

You can also disable the Expect header with $r->setHeaders(array("Expect"=>null));
