Disabling the Expect 100 HTTP Header

HI,

 

I have had some problems with posting data to a web server that has a bad
or non supported implementation of the 100 Continue message. I have
disabled this behaviour by using -H "Expect:" , and this works well.

 

I also use the -o switch to write output to a file (this I use to check
for success). Since I have implemented the fix however I never seem to get
any output by using the -o switch. I was expecting maybe a HTTP/1.1 200 OK
to be written to the output file (as previously without the -H "Expect:"
command I was seeing 'HTTP/1.1 100 Continue' being outputted to that file.

 

Are there other ways to determine the success of your POST in a scripted
environment, or am I doing something wrong here?
