Maneesh, Chris

We have just finished a significant revamp of PutMethod & PostMethods.
Both methods have been made to be able to handle those cases when flaky
HTTP servers and proxies  fail to send status code 100 when expected.
HttpClient should resume sending request body after 3 second timeout if
"100 continue" is not received. 

I can't say I have thoroughly tested how robust HttpClient is in handing
this kind of situations. That's why I am kindly asking you to get hold
of the most recent snapshot of HttpClient and take it for a spin in your
environment. Please apply the following system properties, so you could
keep track of what is going on

-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog
-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.httpclient.wire=debug 
-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.org.apache.commons.httpclient=debug

If you get the following lines in the debug trace, then everything is
cool

[DEBUG] HttpConnection - -Waiting for response timeout
[DEBUG] HttpMethod - -Response not available. Send the request body 

If on the contrary problem persists, or there's anything that you find
fishy, please send me the complete debug trace for analysis

Cheers

Oleg
