I was confusing things when I mentioned that 2000 bytes limit. It only applies
to NTLM, not Digest.

This is all goodness then!

The difference here is that if the size of the POST is small (<
MAX_INITIAL_POST_SIZE), libcurl sends all headers and the body in one chunk
and then it doesn't bother with the Expect: header.

If the POST is larger than that magic limit, it includes that header.
