Description

Lighttpd currently does not handle section 8.2.3 of the HTTP/1.1 spec correctly (it always responds with HTTP/1.1 417 Expectation Failed). As a result many common HTTP/1.1 clients cannot POST data to lighttpd based web servers. (mshtml, Visual Studio, libcurl, HttpClient?, HttpWebRequest?)

Please see section 8.2.3 of http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html

I also see this when Flash 9 tries to upload files in Linux. Oddly, the Windows version of Flash doesn't send this header.

Otherwise, please respect what the developers state.

Why?

Because developers usually know their stuff better than users and probably have good reasons for their statements. See #1017 in this case.
