Incorrect handling of HTTP/1.1 "Expect: 100-continue" in HttpURLConnection

[Chris Hegarty]

Hi Piotr,

Your bug is accessible at
   http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8012625

 From my reading of the code the headers should be sent before waiting 
for the reply to continue.

 From sun/net/www/prtotocol/http/HttpURLConnection:

     getOutputStream() {
         ....
         if (!checkReuseConnection())
             connect();

         boolean expectContinue = false;
         String expects = requests.findValue("Expect");
         if ("100-Continue".equalsIgnoreCase(expects)) {
             http.setIgnoreContinue(false);
             expectContinue = true;
         }

         if (streaming() && strOutputStream == null) {
             writeRequests();      // <<<< Here
         }

         if (expectContinue) {
             expect100Continue();
         }
         ....

     }

Are you seeing something different?

-Chris.
