So, did you read the man page to find out how to "usually" use
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER? It's quite explicit, giving a detailed description of
the data structure to pass in, the values to use to disable headers, etc.

There are examples on the curl web site, in the source code tar ball, on
this mailing list, and elsewhere.

curl is smart enough to do the right thing when you disable the Expect: header
in this way. Another way to disable this particular header is to disable
HTTP 1.1 mode, using CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION.
