Message:
I fail to see how this is a curl bug at all. If the body is larger than
1024 bytes it includes the "Expect: 100-continue" header. That's a HTTP 1.1
header and if your server stops working because of that header, it is a
broken HTTP implementation.

You can easily prevent curl from sending this header if you want.
