Sanjay Radia commented on HDFS-2316:
------------------------------------

Alejando has raised the issue of 100 continue not working with some http client 
libraries.
Curl supports it and  httpclient from Apache seem to support it. If there there 
is at least one java library that
supports it then it seems an unnecessary API complication to split the create 
into two APIs.

> We current have hftp for accessing HDFS over HTTP.  However, hftp is a 
> read-only FileSystem and does not provide "write" accesses.
> In HDFS-2284, we propose to have webhdfs for providing a complete FileSystem 
> implementation for accessing HDFS over HTTP.  The is the umbrella JIRA for 
> the tasks.
